Anderson Maturing into a Veteran

Manager Ozzie Guillen has been saying since Sox Fest that outfielder Brian Anderson is becoming an everyday player. A sign of this was seen by Anderson's play Saturday against the Rangers. Anderson hit two homeruns including a walkoff grand slam winning the game. He has hit 3 homeruns in the last 2 games. For more information about Anderson's recent success visit here.

Anderson has underachieved since coming up to the team trough the minors a few seasons ago. In my opionion he has been one of the worst players in the past seasons. He has always had a great glove in center but his bat has been incediably unconsistant. His batting average in the past has been worse than bad. He is clearly not one of the few of my favorite sox players. However, this can all change if Anderson plays the way he has been lately. The sox could use his power and glove in center. He wont need to play everyday with Dewayne Wise likly to start but every team needs a solid backup. Anderson could be this solution for the Sox the way he is playing now.
