JPN366 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) 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.

rangercal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane0730 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 If he comes somewhat cheap, I'd take him. Can play all 3 OF positions, and we can wave bye-bye to Wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

kane0730 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His current salary is $2.825 million, so it's plausible the Cardinals could offer him arbitration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
