St. Louis is trying to turn its abundance of outfielders into bullpen help.
In addition to talking to Atlanta about outfielder Rick Ankiel, the Cardinals have talked to Philadelphia. The Phillies, who are unlikely to bring back Pat Burrell, would prefer a right-handed bat. The Cardinals' left-handed hitting outfielders, Ankiel and Skip Schumaker, are popular with other clubs.
Ryan Ludwick would be the best fit for the Phillies, but the Phils might not want to break up their bullpen and the Cardinals would want a top-flight reliever in return. --Gerry Fraley
