Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the most consistent and clutch RBI guys in the game. Though not flashy on defense, Anderson is smooth in the field, displaying decent range and a strong, accurate arm.
Flaws
  • A bit injury-prone, Anderson isn't as explosive with the bat as he once was. His lack of patience at the plate and lack of effort on the basepaths keep him from scoring as many runs as he could.
Career Potential
  • Middle-of-the-order clutch bat and an above-average outfielder.
