According to Jorge Ebro of the El Nuevo Herald, the Rays have signed Cuban outfielder/first baseman Leslie Anderson to a four year, $3.75 million deal.
Anderson was one of the more coveted Cuban players that were available on the market, along with first baseman Jose Julio Ruiz.
Here's a quick breakdown of Anderson:
Anderson has gap power. He is not your typical slugger like Ryan Howard or Albert Pujols. Anderson could hit between 15-20 home runs at the Major League level if given the chance. He is a gold glove type first baseman, but I believe his value is in CF a position that requires less power than first base and in his overall versatility.
