And so, Rick Ankiel has been DFA'd by the Nationals. Godspeed, Rick.
Mostly we'll just miss Ankiel's cannon arm; our personal favorite video highlight from 2012 below.

I'm just upset I can no longer use my favorite nickname: Auto-K

Nats Enquirer - I am in total agreement. When I missed watching baseball after the last season ended, I use to watch a lot of these clips of Ankiel firing the ball in from the outfield. I don't know how you pick a favorite, and I only wish that there was a compilation somewhere.
I was wondering if the guys were in a funk today because their buddy had been cut (on his birthday!). I'll miss him, too.
