He's made some good plays just off athleticism but he takes a lot of stupid routes in center. He's going to have to play right or left at some point.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Do I want Ankiel? Hell no. But I think he has a better glove than Bradley, Ibanez, Dunn, etc, although their bats outweigh Mr. HGH.

Is that because of the wood they are made out of?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes. Because Ankiel lacks the goods.

He's the hell of a good hitter, but just like Muskrat said, the Cards won't help us.
I'm now getting used to the idea of Bradley in Cubbie blue next year...<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You can't say he sucks. For me, he's a pretty good hitter.

Bingo.

Seriously. For me, someone who can hit 25 homeruns and drive 71 runs in is a pretty good hitter. Probably not a hell of a hitter, I might have to take that back, but a pretty good hitter for sure.
If he's paid the right amount of money, of course... Soriano? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just look at Jim Edmonds.

Thanks, Ace. Glad to know I didn't make a total ass of myself.
