Sox Swap Banjo-Hitting Outfielders

By , 7/28/2009 3:48 pm

The Red Sox and White Sox have agreed to a deal sending Mark Kotsay to Chicago for outfielder Brian Anderson.

The Sox had already DFA’d Kotsay, so a lousy return on this trade is expected.  If I were a Suffolk Country judge or magistrate of some sort, the first thing I would do (aside from granting voting rights to robots) would be to write a Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting Brian Anderson from coming within 50 miles of Fenway Park before September 1st.

Anderson is a career .238/.322/.319 hitter who has a decent glove.  He’ll probably get called up when the rosters expand in a month, and will hopefully be used strictly as an 8th-inning replacement for Bay, Drew, or Baldelli when the Sox are up by 4 or more runs.
