Aw, crap
Ankiel is hurt again. Poor kid. Looks like this happened before the Myers signing, so that makes a lot more sense now. Anything we got out of Rick was going to be a bonus, but man this sucks. I just hope for his sake that it's not serious. He was just coming back around; he's gotta be petrified.
Update: According to Cardinal Nation, the shutdown is precautionary. However, I'm taking this with a grain of salt. If his elbow is screwed up, what's he going to do-have Tommy John again? Looks like we won't know anything until mid-February, and he's going to be up with the big club (out of options; the Cards will not put him on waivers) during the season, so he'd better be alright.
