June 13, 200916 yr I noticed Brian has been starting and playing full time consistently for the past week or so. The only game he missed was 1/2 of Monday's double header. Here is how he responded: Games 9 AB 28 H 4 R 4 2B 1 3B 0 HR 1 BB 2 RBI 2 SB 0 CS 1 GDP 2 SAC 2 AVG .142 OBP .214 Ouch. I was hoping for better.

June 13, 200916 yr He's a 4th outfielder. Considering the lack of options right now due to injuries, and his defense, I'd say he is the least of my concerns.
June 13, 200916 yr Awesome photo Lostfan! We all agree there are no better options on the roster. Just let the guy play the rest of the season, and we can (hopefully) end this debate once and for all.

June 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jeremy @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 12:15 PM) So what's the lesson here - that he does better with inconsistent playing time? The lesson is that it's been a week. It's pretty hard to make any conclusive decisions based on a week.
June 13, 200916 yr easy conclusion Anderson is good fourth outfielder, who can come in late games for defensive purpose like last season.
June 13, 200916 yr I don't know how anybody can say he's anything but a great defensive player. He's not a good hitter, probably never will be, at least not with our dysfunctional team.
June 13, 200916 yr Just remember there was a time when Rowand was considered the same. Good defense, no bat. Some kids take more time to develop.
