Rick Ankiel's Quest

I have a new article on The Hardball Times summarizing Ankiel's season and his quest to make the transition from pitcher to hitter.

Also, make your plans to pre-order The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2006. There will be plenty of excellent articles from the THT writers as well as guest essays by the likes of Bill James among others. There's also lots of stats of course and even some new data on balls in play outcomes for you to peruse.
