winninguglyin83 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 biggest question about Anderson is competition he played against. Don't have the background to judge what kind of pitching he faced at East Central Community College in Decatur, Miss. Another slight red flag is that for a guy who grew up in SEC country, he was committed to UAB, not an SEC school next season. Legitimate concern? Bee Bee Richard II?

DirtySox Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) By the way, why did the Royals pick Dozier 30-some picks earlier than he was projected? Very strange. Because he will be cheap and allow them to reallocate cap money to skilled players who might be tougher signs later on. Manaea perhaps.

DirtySox Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 SCOUTING REPORT: It’s a banner year for Mississippi junior colleges, and Anderson has a chance to become the highest-drafted such player in a June draft. A Tuscaloosa, Ala., native, Anderson missed much of his high school baseball career due to basketball, first because of knee injuries as a sophomore, then because of a state title run as a junior that overlapped much of baseball season. He focused on baseball in junior college and hit .328 with five home runs in the Jayhawk League last summer. He has followed up by showing solid power this spring to go with his other prodigious tools. Anderson stands out in a draft class light on middle infielders. Scouts aren’t sold that he’ll stick at shortstop thanks to average arm strength. He has middle-infield actions and needs repetition at the pro level to see where he’ll stick. His athleticism and plus-plus speed would play in center field. Some scouts see power in Anderson’s bat and consider him a potential Brandon Phillips, while others see him as a faster version of Orlando Hudson. Either way, Anderson will be the first or second middle infielder picked and won’t be following through on his commitment to Alabama-Birmingham. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2013-...round-analysis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hawkins having an awful year Anderson has an argument. It's him vs. Erik Johnson. I'd lean towards the guy who is probably going to pitch in the Majors this year against the CC pick.

Would be hard to choose anyone that's standing out....I would guess, Thompson? Daniel Webb? Snodgress? Sanchez still? You certainly can't argue Beck's moved up significantly....he should be near the back end of the Top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) That says more about Hawkins than it does Anderson. Hawkins has 3 more months and possibly the AFL to re-establish his value. Being jumped all the way to High A one year out of high school only happens about 1-2% of the time.

DirtySox Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 KLaw: The biggest question on Anderson is how much work his hit tool will need, as he hasn’t faced much quality pitching this year or in high school and may need extra time in rookie ball to adjust. The possible upside here of an everyday shortstop that can run and hit for some average will likely put Anderson comfortably in the top three rounds.
