Newsbreakers
August 5, 2009
MLB.com reports that newly acquired Royals' outfielder is expected to report to the team on Wednesday in Kansas City.
Our View:
Dealt from the Tigers last Thursday, Anderson has been with his wife expecting the arrival of his baby boy. He'll see some playing time in KC, but is a desperate play for fantasy owners.
July 30, 2009
The recently designated for assignment Josh Anderson has been acquired by the Royals for cash, according to AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price.
Our View:
And so goes down the most seismic deal of the deadline. Anderson hit .242 in 165 at-bats for the Tigers this season--huge numbers for a Royal.
July 24, 2009
Josh Anderson has been designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers, according to the official Twitter page of the team. The move was made to make room for the activation of the injured Carlos Guillen.
Our View:
Anderson is hitting .242 this season, and his fantasy value was already nonexistent before this move. He will see major league time again this season, but it seems unlikely he will be fantasy relevant anytime soon.
July 12, 2009
Josh Anderson hit off a tee on Saturday but he is still sore after being hit on the bicep by a Cliff Lee pitch on Friday, according to MLB.com. Anderson will likely be limited to pinch-running duty Sunday.
Our View:
Anderson probably could play today, but with the break coming up it makes sense to keep him out. He has no major fantasy value, but if anyone does have him you should get him out today.
May 5, 2009
According to MLBlogs.com, Josh Anderson will hit leadoff for the Tigers on Tuesday. Manager Ozzie Guillen had to shuffle the lineup due to recent injuries.
Our View:
With Carlos Guillen landing on the DL, Anderson will have a bigger role to play in Detroit. He's currently hitting .326 with six steals on the season and could make the most of an unfortunate situation for the Tigers.
April 14, 2009
Skipper Jim Leyland likes what he sees in outfielder Josh Anderson, according to the Detroit News. Leyland said, "I would like to see him work with hitting coach Lloyd McClendon and get a more consistent swing."
Our View:
Anderson has two hits (one single, one double) over 11 at-bats with Detroit so far, and is worth a look as a flier for AL-only leagues if dangling on the waiver wire. He gets to play his home games at hitter-friendly Comerica Park.
April 5, 2009
According to MLB.com, Josh Anderson will start in left field on Opening Day for the Tigers.
Our View:
Anderson failed to make the starting roster in Atlanta, was shipped to Detroit and now all of a sudden has a starting gig. It remains to be seen how long he'll stay there, but it looks like they're giving the kid a chance to shine.
March 30, 2009
The Tigers have acquired Josh Anderson from the Braves in exchange for minor league pitcher Rudy Darrow, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Our View:
Anderson failed to win the starting gig in center field with Atlanta, which will now likely go to Jordan Schaffer.
March 21, 2009
Josh Anderson hit his second home run of the spring in a pinch hit appearance in the 8th inning of Saturday's 12-1 drubbing of the Mets. It was a three-run shot.
Our View:
This certainly doesn't hurt Anderson's cause. It appears the starting center field job is still up for grabs and Anderson looks to be the favorite. If he takes over he might be worth a late look in NL-only leagues as a stolen base threat.
March 20, 2009
Josh Anderson went 2-for-4 in Friday's 8-6 loss to Florida. Both of his hits were singles.
Our View:
Anderson has been hitting well as of late, and is solidifying his chances of winning the starting job in center field. As a starter, Anderson would be worth targeting as a sleeper for NL-only leagues, namely for speed. He swiped 10 bases over 136 at-bats in 2008.
March 17, 2009
Josh Anderson went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets. He hit a single and a two-run homer, his first of the spring.
Our View:
This was a solid performance in his bid to nail down the starting gig in center field. Anderson would be worth targeting as a sleeper for NL-only leagues if he starts.
March 13, 2009
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Josh Anderson is no longer the clear favorite to be the Braves center fielder. Manager, Bobby Cox, has called the competition "wide open". Gregor Blanco and Jordan Schafer are considered to be Anderson's main competitors.
Our View:
This certainly shakes things up. Anderson is still in the lead, mostly because of his speed, but Blanco or Schafer could bump him with impressive springs.
