Rick Ankiel, Nationals' Life Skills Coordinator, Reports For Duty

Rick Ankiel’s new title feels like something you’d read on a college brochure. “Each dorm equipped with a life skills coordinator,” some parent would read, then be reassured despite the ambiguity. A life skills coordinator doesn’t seem like a can’t-miss component of a major league organization’s player development staff. Pitching and catching and defense need coordinators. Life skills? Well, those seem too nebulous in comparison, too personal, and far too inclusive to be subject to coordination.
