If you could pick one player to build your franchise around right now, to be set up for the future and get the area excited about baseball- who would it be? I’m thinking about trying to be the agent for Rick Ankiel; I can get by with what I’ve learned in Jerry Maguire. Seriously though, Rick Ankiel has one of the best stories in baseball (Josh Hamilton receives consideration also, but some markets wouldn’t be down with the highlighted drug history). Ankiel was a huge pitching prospect that was touted like the guys I mentioned yesterday, and went 11-7 in his rookie season in 2000. Then ...

Peter@BaseballReflections posted 5/10/2008 from www.cardinal70.com
