Dan Anderson  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Anderson can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Because he can't overpower hitters, Anderson has to fool them instead. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Anderson helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Anderson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Anderson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Anderson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
