The Rangers have signed free-agent right-hander Drew Anderson to a minor league contract, the team announced. The deal includes an invitation to major league spring training.
Anderson began his career with the Phillies, who chose him in the 21st round of the 2012 draft, but the organization moved on from him toward the end of the 2019 season. He spent some of last season with the White Sox, but they released him in early September after the 26-year-old threw just 1 1/3 innings in their uniform.
In all, Anderson has totaled 22 1/3 major league innings of 9.67 ERA ball and posted an 18.6 percent strikeout rate against a 9.7 percent walk rate. Anderson does, however, possess a far more respectable 3.52 ERA through 486 minor league frames.
Ludicrous speed too slow???!!!
Causin’ confusion, disturbin’ the peace! It’s not an illusion, we runnin’ the streets!
What’s the matter Colonel Sanders… chicken???
I don’t care how average his name is, I have no idea who this is.
NOBODY does! But with an ERA of over 40.00 last year seems like a solid pick up.
A 23.14 ERA in 2017 then a 40.50 ERA in 2020??!! Jeepers
That’s like outfielder-doing-mop-up-duty-in-a-blowout ERA
Are those his yearly ERAs or his Lotto numbers?
Sit down! Mr Anderson!! –DPS
that ERA is no lie – Anderson is a AAAA pitcher
40 ERA now that’s whatsup
I would like to think I would register no worse than a 39 ERA.
Not noted in the article is that he’s pitching in Australia right now.
