Brian Anderson

[Bloody Nipples]

I just picked him in the shockwave dynasty minors draft (4th round). What do you guys think of the young CHW outfielder? Any current player he projects to compare with?

"He's Jeremy Reed with a lot more power potential. He made the White Sox realize that Reed was expendable." -- NL scout. from ESPN.com

Well, I think Anderson's going to be a solid MLB player, but I don't see the comps to Jeremy Reed at all. Reed seems like he could top out as a special hitter of a mold similar to Tony Gwynn. Anderson strikes out much more often, and should have more HR power, as noted. I'm thinking a reasonable comp stats-wise would be Rondell White - above average in just about every aspect of the game.

Not knocking Anderson, but here are the two stat lines from AA Birmingham at age 22:
Anderson: .270/.346/.416
Reed: .409/.474/.591

Admittedly, that's Reed's best line, but hitting .400 at AA over 250 AB's is pretty rare.

Not a good idea to cut and paste a piece of someone's article, without posting your source... I believe this is from John Sickles..I just know it's not you
