Time to lay it on the line. What I believe players will do this year for the Birds. These are my predictions from my very own  family secret recipe of statistics.

I start with “the Rick”

Ankiel will play in 125 games, 457 at bats,122 hits, 20 doubles, 2 triples, 27 home runs, 84 RBI’s. Rick will walk 33 times and strikeout 101 times and have 5 stolen bases.

This equates to a .267 batting average. Can you live with that as your starting CF/RF ?

I would like better but don’t think it will happen. Look for Ankiel to bat second most of the year.

NEXT up: Chris Duncan
