Cardinals recalled OF Rick Ankiel from Triple-A Memphis.
A great story. Ankiel's promising pitching career was ruined by injuries and the inability to throw the ball over the plate, but he's turned himself into a power-hitting outfielder.
Ankiel ranks second among all minor league hitters with 31 homers, although as a 28-year-old at Triple-A his lack of plate discipline and high strikeout totals are equally as important.
Ankiel most likely will have a hard time at first adjusting to Major League pitching, but he figures to help the Cardinals in some way.
Lets his hope his hitting is not as wild as his pitching was.
