Drew M. Anderson

The talent in Ohio is so slanted toward pitching this year that once Mike Ferris is drafted, 2B Drew Anderson is the only other position player expected to be selected among the next 12-15 rounds. Powerfully built in a small package, Anderson has been compared with Braves 2B Marcus Giles, without the power. Anderson runs and hits well, and has proven to be a capable defender at second, especially in turning the double play. There were concerns his hands were too hard and that he may have to move to the outfield.
