Not sure if this was posted but some Reds news here.
Rotoworld
Reds claimed outfielder Drew Anderson off waivers from the Brewers.
This is hard to believe. Anderson, 26, hit .273/.324/.395 with 16 steals in 377 at-bats for Triple-A Nashville last season. In five seasons, he's posted an 800 OPS once, that coming in Rookie ball in 2003. He shouldn't have any sort of a career as a reserve outfielder.
It looks like the Reds claimed him from the Brewers and he'll take the last spot on the 40 man roster.
oops you postedfirst.
Just read rotowire and they mention he's 26 (27 as of June 9th) years old. They weren't impressed by last season's numbers in AAA. "Anderson hit a thoroughly unimpressive .273/.324/.395 at Triple-A Nashville last season..." Apparently just fill-in fodder.
Sorry. I didn't notice your post either Royals Fan until after I posted with NNredsfan.
better than Buck Coats... right?
I really do not see this kid ever doing anything for us, but you never know...
3-2 at games this year
5-9 all time
2010 central division champions
anything is better than Buck coats.
Someone want to place odds that he's a lefty OF?
You called it. milb.com has him listed as a left handed batter, who throws right handed. I can't believe there wasn't a spot for Carlos Guevarra.Originally Posted by CarolinaRedleg
From Fay:
Hard to get too excited about this. Pretty low risk though...To clarify: Drew Anderson is not the Drew Anderson already in the Reds organization. This Drew Anderson is a left-handed hitting outfielder. (the Reds apparently cannot have too many of those). The other Anderson is switch-hitting infielder.
maybe he is related to the great mike anderson one of the best pitchers the reds ever deployed
Offseason is complete
The Reds seemingly cannot ever have too many fringe outfielders.
Or Drew Andersons.
