Rest-of-Season Projections
Calls end to career
Anna didn't report to the Twins' spring training complex Monday and informed the organization that he intends to retire, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After signing a minor-league contract with the Twins in December, Anna had been scheduled to join the club as a non-roster invitee at spring training. While Anna was never likely to seriously contend for an Opening Day gig with the Twins, it was expected that he would play a key role in the infield for Triple-A Rochester this season. The prospect of another year on the farm apparently wasn't too appealing to the 32-year-old, who elected to call an end to a career that included brief stints in the majors with the Yankees and Cardinals in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
The 29-year-old Anna logged all of one at-bat for the Cardinals in 2015, serving mainly as their Triple-A affiliate's starting second baseman. Anna will continue to provide the club with organizational depth, assuming he stay with the Cardinals. The light-hitting middle-infielder boasts a career .277/.381/.406 line in the minors along with 43 stolen bases in 2,488 career at-bats. He signed a minor-league deal with the Cardinals last fall after being let go by the Yankees. It's highly unlikely he'll see any meaningful at-bats with the Cardinals in 2016 with it being doubtful he even gets a callup.
