Ankiel, 28, batted .285 with 11 home runs and 49 RBI in just 47 games. Once a top of the line pitching prospect, Ankiel is now a promising outfielder. He showed good numbers last year hitting 11 homer runs and batting in 49 runs in 47 games.
Ankiel may have found a new niche with his fireball wielding arm now gunning people out from right field. St. Louis has a productive offense and Ankiel may have some decent numbers depending on where he falls in the batting order.
