As promised in my last post, here is a link (of many) about the Ackley signing with the Seattle Mariners and another about the Cleveland Indians and Alex White coming to terms. And while these two ex Heels are now in the Pro’s several have decided to come back to Chapel Hill for another season. After you have checked out those links, check out the recaps for all the ex Diamond Heels from last night, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB). I will probably write a post about the two newest pro’s today (or in the days to come), so make sure to check that out as well.
