TLAK Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The guy Nelson Cruz homered off of in the tenth yesterday is none other than Matt Anderson, late of the Tigers and Rockies. I didn’t know the Sox organization signed him. He sat out 2007 and started a comeback with Naranjeros de Hermosillo last fall. He got into 3 games, lost 2 of them. 3.1 IP, 2 ER, 4 BB (1 intentional), 2 K, 1 HR for an ERA of 5.40. He’s obviously a deep, deep reclamation project if the organization keeps him around at all. Yesterday was his only appearance for the big club this spring. Isn’t this the same kid who used to throw 100 mph for the Tigers? Has anyone seen him, does he still throw hard?

Yes he's one and the same. If he's on the White Sox in 2008, it would be the pitching equavalent to Andy Gonzalez leading off. He wasn't so good before his injuries.

southsider2k5 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 He is a lottery ticket, nothing more. There are probably 10 guys ahead of him in the race to get into the Sox pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda the first overall pick in 1997 That means it's the second straight year the Sox have signed a former #1 overall pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
