| 2 | Dustin Ackley to move to second base; Mariners add six to 40-man roster | Sports |
| Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik just told some of us writers in a conference call that the team will have No. 1 draft pick Dustin Ackley , a left fielder, work out at second base and then attempt to play there in the minors this coming season.
