Winter Notes: Puerto Rican League

BRYAN ANDERSON, C, Cardinals

The Cardinals dispatched Anderson, 22, to Puerto Rico to shadow Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina. However, Anderson struggled at the plate, batting .240/.406/.240 (6-for-25) and returned to the States just before Thanksgiving.

The Cardinals were pleased with the work he put in with Molina. But one scout questioned his defense.

"The weird thing about him was he didn’t play every day," the scout said. "Usually Americans play a lot. But he was struggling defensively. He needs more work, especially with throwing. But I know he can hit."
