2024 Fantasy Outlook
No hitter misses the 2019 super happy fun ball more than Brian Anderson. The 20 homers he hit that season was a career best than he has not come close to matching since and his peak power years of ages 28-30 have looked like carbon copies of below average production for both Miami and Milwaukee. The strong-armed third baseman/right fielder can likely find a platoon job with some team, but he is an odd fit because he is a righty who hits righties better (108 wRC+) than he does lefties (89 wRC+) over the course of his career. If there is a club willing to give him 300 or so plate appearances against righties and just bench him against lefties, mono league fantasy managers may be able to squeeze out a bit of value using a reserve pick on this dual-position player. That dual position eligibility is his saving grace as things stand now. Read Past Outlooks
Becomes free agent
Anderson elected free agency Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
One day after he was outrighted off Atlanta's 40-man roster, Anderson decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere rather than accepting a minor-league assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 31-year-old saw action in just three games for Atlanta prior to being cut loose, going hitless with two strikeouts in five plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Brian Anderson compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The American League West features perhaps the biggest battle of all this spring: Wyatt Langford's quest to make the Rangers' Opening Day roster.
Jason Collette highlights 10 hitters and 10 pitchers who have been nearly forgotten about in the first handful of 2024 drafts, including shortstop Tim Anderson.

2019
2018
Anderson was non-tendered by the Marlins after the season and latched on with the Brewers on a one-year deal, and he's expected to primarily play third base while also being an option in the outfield and at first base. Anderson has struggled through injuries each of the past two seasons while retaining a disciplined approach at the plate but seeing his numbers slide each of the past three seasons while he played through the injuries. The 20 homers of 2019 were clearly a product of the baseball being used that season, and he may have a hard time reaching those heights again with Milwaukee's park factor more recently favoring pitchers. He will likely end up in right field sooner rather than later as his range is declining but the arm is still elite. His splits have truly been all over the place, but he has historically handled righties better than lefties which should help keep him out of a short-side platoon situation. There is still good in his bat buried underneath the recent scar tissue, and he's an intriguing option should he land in the right place this winter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offense, defense scuffling
Anderson is hitting .318 over his past six games but has also struck out 10 times and committed four errors.
ANALYSIS
All four errors have come at third base, where he had just one error in his first 52 appearances of the campaign. Anderson still has plus-two DRS and plus-four OAA at the position this season, so the rough stretch isn't likely to affect his role. The 30-year-old's struggles at the plate are more worrisome, as he has a .544 OPS and 36.6 percent strikeout rate in 29 games since June 1.
