It's about time, he's been tearing up the minors for two years now.

Don't you mean "creating mucho mucho outs"? That's good if he was still a pitcher, but not so good as a hitter.
His OBP has been .295 in AA and .316 in AAA, what is it going to be in the Majors? Way below .300? Ankiel is 28 and in his prime so how much improvement does he have left?

considering he only recently became a full-time hitter, I don't think you can use standard projections like that.
also, his SLG this year was .570, that's pretty damn good. sure his OBP sucks, but a guy who a .270/.316/.570 guy has good value
