Josh Anderson

#1 Post by CubFan »

Yes, I know he is a bit of an obscure name but in our deep 12 team AL only keeper league stolen bases are one of the few things that are very hard to pick up after the draft. I'm going to be light on SBs and I missed out on him by $1 via FAAB Sunday. Currently he is Detroit's 4th OFer and Leyland was recently quoted that he wants to get his speed into the game as often as possible. So, what expectations do you have for him? With Guillen and Ordonez injury risks I can see him getting 250-300 ABs which could net 20 sbs and a decent average. I'm debating on the merits of trading Cuddyer or Kubel since Minny's OF situation is rather muddled and could be a revolving door all year. It would not be a one-one deal of course but maybe Anderson and DeJesus for Cuddyer/Buscher. Or Cuddyer/Buscher for Anderson and Teahan. Thoughts?

I think the 250-300 AB estimation is fine, could even be light.

But I also think it is going to take a heck of a lot more than Buscher as the second player, especially since the guy obviously wanted Anderson as he FAABed him.
