I think Ankiel hits only slightly better than Stairs. He's at what... .210? About an inch above hopeless. Even more painful that I turn to the Yankees game to see Swisher make a catch in right, then Gardner, Granderson, and Tex at bat. Does Rizzo think it's illegal to have good players??
We had to vastly overpay for Werth to get him to come here, and there's a limited number of legitimately great free agents. I don't think there were any classical great leadoff hitters available during the offseason, and we don't have the assets to be able to trade for one (or rather, we do, but they're not assets we're willing to trade).
