There's no doubt that Anderson has still had his frustrating moments this season (especially defensively). However, he's really improved in the areas that hurt him most in 2017. He nearly has more walks this season than he did in his first two combined. He should wind-up K'ing a good deal less as well.
He's become a better base stealer too. Finally being able to utilize his speed on the base paths is a plus. He has 13 HR's and 15 SB's through 75 games. That's flirting with a 30/30 season if it continues. 20/20 or 20/30 is more likely... but still. It's worth noting what he's been doing.
.239/302/.436 (.738) is respectable. Especially if he can keep optimizing this new approach, maybe we have something?
I had nearly given up him. I still don't know what happens with Moncada/Madrigal/Anderson when it comes time. I suppose it depends on how Moncada/Anderson are playing. Madrigal seems pretty polished and I don't think he's a guy who will need a whole lot of time in the minors.
The consensus seems to be that we'll spend up in free agency at 3B. Arenado, Donaldson, Machado... all going on the market here soon. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. However, it's good to see Anderson showing some life. Even if this team is currently an abomination.
