Will Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwick continue to soar in the Cardinals outfield?
If you asked me this at the beginning of the season, I probably would have said “no way!” I think I’m singing a different tune these days. Both started off the season incredibly hot and each one took a little bit of a swoon during the first half, Ankiel in May and Ludwick in June. But in July, they’re both crushing the ball again, each hitting well over .300 and have combined for 13 HR and 30 RBI in July thus far. The break hasn’t sapped either of their momentums and they should remain solid plays for the remainder of the season. Colby Rasmus might still get a September call-up, but if the Cards are in contention, these boys should be inthe lineup every day.
