Pirates Reach Out To Rick Ankiel

It is believed that management already has made contact with two free agents, Ankiel and Hank Blalock, each represented by super-agent Scott Boras. Ankiel, 29, is an outstanding defensive outfielder who slumped to .231 in St. Louis last season but hit 25 home runs the previous year. Blalock, 28, is a first baseman who, similarly, is coming off a subpar year for average at .234. But he had 25 home runs, his fourth time at that plateau.
