2/5 - Fantasy: Waiver Wire Offseason:» by Rob McQuown
2/1 - THT Live: Analyzing the MLB dra» by Alex Pedicini
1/22 - THT Live: On Rick Ankiel and Da» by Joshua Fisher
1/11 - Anxiety: Performance enhancer o» by Rob Dobrenski
Monday, January 25, 2010
News: Ankiel will start in center field for the Royals, with David DeJesus moving to right field and Scott Podsednik to left, the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: This makes Jose Guillen a full-time DH when he's healthy enough to play. Ankiel has plenty of experience playing center field, so that won't be an issue; but does he have the range?
Thursday, January 21, 2010
News: Ankiel has agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with Kansas City that includes a $6 million mutual option for 2011, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Analysis: It's not clear where he fits in the outfield, but it's not hard to see him winning a starting job or platoon role.
