Antiproton Annihilation Reactions

Suppose I wanted to use antimatter for propulsion. The reaction wastes something like 40% of its energy producing neutral pions which almost immediately decay into useless gamma rays. What if the protons & antiprotons were first accelerated to relativistic speed, wouldn't the gamma rays produced be redshifted to a more reasonable wavelength, say infrared?
