According to Jorge Ebro of the El Nuevo Herald, the Rays have signed Cuban outfielder/first baseman Leslie Anderson to a four year, $3.75 million deal.
Rays Sign Top Cuban Prospect Leslie Anderson
Anderson was one of the more coveted Cuban players that were available on the market, along with first baseman Jose Julio Ruiz.
Here’s a quick breakdown of Anderson:
Anderson has gap power. He is not your typical slugger like Ryan Howard or Albert Pujols. Anderson could hit between 15-20 home runs at the Major League level if given the chance. He is a gold glove type first baseman, but I believe his value is in CF a position that requires less power than first base and in his overall versatility.
