Royals looking at former White Sox CF Brian Anderson on minor-league deal. - Ken Rosenthal
Well why not? He can't be any worse than the first one. This Anderson has 883 major league plate appearances and has put together a .227/.290/.370 line. He was Chicago's first round pick in 2003, drafted 15th overall he was taken ten spots after Chris Lubanski and fifteen spots before Mitch Maier. He hasn't been a legit prospect since 2005 and he is almost 28 years old. So yeah a minor league deal sounds about right which means he will be in centerfield for Kansas City on opening day.
I'd like to see Maier man CF next year as he did have a strong second half (.261/.363/.346) and I fear the alternative is Scott Podsednik. Okay maybe strong is too strong of a word but that .363 OBP is quite impressive. His season .333 OBP was fourth on the team (min. 300 PA's). 2010 is a lost year and the perfect time to see what Maier can do over the course of a full season.
