July 24, 200916 yr Tigers DFA Josh Anderson By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 24 at 9:30am CST] The Tigers designated outfielder Josh Anderson for assignment to make room for Carlos Guillen, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck. Anderson, 26, hit .242/.282/.315 with no homers in 74 games with the Tigers. He played all three outfield positions for the Tigers, and defended well in limited innings.
July 24, 200916 yr Sox should jump on that honestly. I don't see Pods keeping up the production, but I would love to be wrong and have a logjam in the OF. It's a good problem to have.
July 24, 200916 yr We've already got an outfielder named Anderson who can't hit. Why would we need two of them?
July 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) We've already got an outfielder named Anderson who can't hit. Why would we need two of them? This one's fast and left handed. He's like the better hitting version of DeWayne Wise.
July 24, 200916 yr Because Wise made that catch yesterday we're probably stuck with him for the rest of the season. Josh Anderson would be much better in that role, but it is what it is.
July 25, 200916 yr Josh Anderson would be a very good upgrade over Wise. Anderson is solid defensively, is probably faster, is a better base stealer, and a better hitter (although it's not tough to be a better hitter than Wise). Thanks for that catch Wise, but it'll be a shame if he gets a free pass for the rest of the year because of it.
