The Cardinals have been surprised at the level of interest in center fielder Rick Ankiel. The YankeesNew York Yankees have been among at least five teams looking into obtaining Ankiel. The Braves, Rays and Giants are among the others. Ankiel, the one-time erratic pitcher, hit 25 homers in just 413 at-bats last year during an injury-disrupted season. He is one year removed from free agency and as a Scott Boras client almost certainly will test the market. However, he should make only about $3 million as an arbitration-eligible player in 2009.
