Dustin Ackley –

Dustin Ackley was signed to  a minor league contract and invited to Spring Training, but with the Angels plethora of first and second basemen he could not crack the big league roster for the Angels.  He is currently hitting .266 with one homer and 29 RBI’s. Ackley has a .343 OBP and has made only one error defensively.

Ackley has played in seven major league seasons for the Mariners and the Yankees posting a career .241 average with 46 homers and 216 runs batted in with 31 stolen bases.

Ackley has a slight chance of being called up during the September call-up period, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on him.  Despite having a few years of big league experience there are just too many better options right now ahead of him.  If Ackley picks it up he might move ahead of a player or two, but right now his chances of seeing big league action in 2017 for the Angels is slim to none.
