Rick Ankiel...

I don't know if anyone else saw this last night on MLB Network, but they had Ken Rosenthal on. He suggested, and I'm guessing this is pure speculation on his part, that the White Sox trade for Rick Ankiel. Thoughts?

I think this was brought up before.

 

Looking at Cardinals it makes sense because their outfield is pretty crowded with Duncan, Ludwick, Ankiel, and Rasmus, one of them becomes somewhat expandable.

 

No Thanks.

 

What if he came cheap?

I like the idea.

 

1 Salary is right

2 His stock is LOW. We can probably get him for close to nothing

3 He is a left handed Pull hitter, which works well at our park

 

 

 

Do it Kenny!

 

If you combine his 2007/2008 seasons (167 games), you get .270/36/110. Can't really take too much from this year as he's been injured. Not sure about his glove. But in the games I've seen, he's crazy athletic and has pretty good range.

What is his arbitration/free agency status?

He is a free agent at the end of this season. His current salary is $2.825 million, so it's plausible the Cardinals could offer him arbitration.

If that is the case, I wouldn't offer much for him without a contract extention being agreed to.

Questions I would ask are:

 

Where does he play?

Who does he replace?

What kind of a fit is he with the Sox?

How much does he cost?

How much will he cost in return?

Why?

 

He is a good story as far as his hitting is concerned, but I wonder why Rosenthal is evening mentioning Rick Ankiel?
