White Sox Outright Drew Anderson

By Connor Byrne | August 11, 2020 at 6:13pm CDT

The White Sox have outrighted hurler Drew Anderson to their alternate training site, James Fegan of The Athletic was among those to report. The club designated the right-hander for assignment over the weekend.

Formerly a member of the Phillies, with whom he entered pro ball as a 21st-round pick in 2012, Anderson joined the White Sox on a minor league contract last offseason. He made his debut with the White Sox on Aug. 8, but it couldn’t have gone much worse. The 26-year-old yielded six earned runs on four hits (including two homers) and two walks in a loss to the Indians, leading Chicago to drop him from its roster.

Thanks in large part to his one ugly appearance this season, Anderson’s now the owner of a woeful 9.67 ERA (albeit with a far more palatable 4.78 FIP) across 22 1/3 major league innings. He has been much better in Triple-A, though, having logged a 4.34 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 over 159 2/3 frames. Anderson will now stay in the White Sox organization and try to work his way back to the bigs.

      They should have given him a shot as a defensive replacement for Eloy. Some old guy with a cane could probably play the OF about the same as Eloy.

        Probably. Well, except Schwarber

          Schwarber is far better defensively than Eloy, it isn’t even close really.

          Yeah, it’s much closer than you think. The point is Schwarber and Eloy are both bad defensively, but their offense more than makes up for their glaring defensive deficiencies.

          It’s not a horrible thing being a bad defensive LF (though any P would probably disagree). Manny Ramirez had a fine career despite being possibly one of the worst defenders in the history of the game. Anytime I think of Manny, the first thing that comes to mind is him cutting off Damon’s throw from CF.

        You make me laugh. Imagine you playing LF and a MLB hitter hits a screamer right at you. You would probably run as fast as Usain Bolt trying to get away from that ball.

        You have no clue what it takes to play LF in MLB. On Eloy’s worst day, he would look like Mike Trout compared to you.

    No idea why he was even given a 40-man spot in first place.
