Ankiel has been
pretty awful for most of the last 3+ seasons, but for a team that could use some OF help, he'd be a cheap (the rest of his $1.25M 2012 salary), low-risk option. A guy like Victorino would clearly be the better acquisition, and do much more to help the Yankees get #28. But if the Yankees want to take the cheap route, which they probably will, Ankiel might not be a bad pickup. I guess they could do worse.
