June 19, 200916 yr 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?
June 19, 200916 yr 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. Edited June 19, 200916 yr by tommy

June 19, 200916 yr 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!
June 19, 200916 yr If he comes somewhat cheap, I'd take him. Can play all 3 OF positions, and we can wave bye-bye to Wise.

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.

June 19, 200916 yr Alot depends on the health of CQ. If he's out for the year, KW has to make a move for a corner OF. Ankiel, Huff, and Dunn come to mind.
June 19, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) What do we give up for him? Hmmm...Kyle McCulloch?
June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) If he comes somewhat cheap, I'd take him. Can play all 3 OF positions, and we can wave bye-bye to Wise. And Brian. At least as a starter.
June 19, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) What do we give up for him? Maybe Josh Fields?
June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) 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.
June 19, 200916 yr If we can't count on CQ and still contending I can see Kenny pulling that sort of move. # 1 year/$2.825M (2009) * re-signed by St. Louis 2/12/09 (avoided arbitration, $3.3M-$2.35M)
June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) And Brian. At least as a starter. Fine by me.

June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) 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? 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?
June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) Maybe Josh Fields? Do the Cards need a medicore thirdbaseman?
