2011
Although Anderson finally made his way to the majors last year, he didn't play much during his two stints with the Cardinals. Yadier Molina's backup generally doesn't get much playing time, but the retirement of Jason LaRue means that Anderson is one step closer to getting four or five starts a month this year. With the signing of Gerald Laird, however, don't expect Anderson to earn the backup role out of spring training.
2010
Anderson struggled in his second Triple-A stint last year, finishing with an abysmal 10:42 BB:K ratio and a .245/.293/.399 line after a promising debut in 2008 at 21. A June shoulder injury ended his season prematurely. Although Anderson is the top catching prospect in the St. Louis system, Yadier Molina is showing no sign of giving up his job. Anderson will need to prove himself in 2010 just to become Molina's backup in 2011.
2009
Anderson is St. Louis' top catching prospect, and has so far held his own at every level. While he doesn't have a lot of power, he has a keen eye and is a strong contact hitter. Yadier Molina is one of the best catchers in the National League, so he won't be giving up his job to Anderson any time soon. However, with only Jason LaRue ahead of him on the depth chart, Anderson could be Molina's backup as early as this year.
2008
Anderson skipped a level and held his own at Double-A Springfield, hitting .298/.350/.388, but his batting eye dipped with the promotion. At 21, Anderson still has time to improve his offense and defense, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him have success at a position other than catcher when he eventually makes the bigs.
