MIAMI — The rebuilding Miami Marlins may have found their third baseman of the future. Or their right fielder.
It's the same player: Brian Anderson, who has blossomed into a contender for NL rookie of the year in his first full major league season.
Anderson began the week batting .282 with eight home runs and a team-high 49 RBIs. It's increasingly clear he'll be one of Derek Jeter's rebuilding blocks, but it's uncertain where Anderson will play.
He was a third baseman in the minors and began this season at that position. But when veteran third baseman Martin Prado returned from an injury in late April, Anderson was moved to right field, a position he hadn't played regularly since he was at the University of Arkansas.
