Projected as a 1B/LF, not needed
rockfordone
White Sox will pick him up

You know your farm system is stacked when you’re DFAing guys who raked in their first taste of AAA ball.
joeybw
Yes it is very stacked but we did not cut a prospect, we cut a 29 year old that is most likely going to turn 30 in AAA
mike292929
Most 30 year old’s in AAA have seen some MLB action and failed or perform poorly in low ball…. this guy hasn’t seen MLB action and ranked in AAA ball. He’ll be welcome anywhere.
jwredsox
*Raked at AAA ball with a BABIP of .380 and an ISO under .100. Not exactly what you want out of your OF and definitely not a 1B

Nats might get to him first. They still need to work a deal with TB … lots of good relievers on the Nats depth chart and TB still has a couple of extra starters …
EdinsonPickle
That’s right, they could definitely trade him for some bullpen help. Even though he’s near 30 he could at the very least fetch a decent piece for the pen from the Nats or whoever.
Piero
Another thing to remember … international is very useful but the draft is still the richest resource for replenishing talent. The Rays have 11 picks in the first 90 this year. ELEVEN. They are going to have to spend some money on this year’s very rich in talent draft. No room for an almost 30 Anderson.
mike292929
Very decent line with 32 xbase hits…. and he’s getting DFA’d? I know he’s almost 30 but he hasn’t even seen any MLB action… so to me this guy an old prospect who would be welcome on any team.
joeybw
Really? Because he lacks power and is a likely DH, terrible at 1B and “decent” in the corners. I guess he makes solid contact but this is not a “every team” type player.

So how is his defense?

Does Anderson need to clear waivers before he can go to the minors?
Jeff 31
Maybe the Braves should trade for this guy , offer Canizares or something. Or make a waiver claim. They’re still looking for a backup OF.
Jay212033
I was thinking the same thing! The Braves could use him as a backup to McLouth and Freeman.
TimotheusATL
Hell, the Braves are still looking for a STARTING OF.
websoulsurfer
Would be a good pickup for Padres.

there is real chance to know anderson go and check his number in AAA 328 last year , 2011 427 and improving , he will be a good pickup for any team .
