When the White Sox officially announced the promotion of their 2013 first round pick (17th overall) Tim Anderson on June 6 from Class AA Charlotte, general manager Rick Hahn quickly suggested that the shortstop wasn’t arriving as the team’s savior.
Nearly one week later, and Anderson has already given the White Sox an immediate boost on offense with six hits in his last three games. Anderson began his White Sox career hitting in the ninth spot and had two hits, including a double in his MLB debut.
After going hitless in his next two games, manager Robin Ventura inserted Anderson in the leadoff spot as he was a leadoff hitter with Charlotte this season.
