Tim Anderson has received criticism from many White Sox fans who think he won’t last long as a shortstop in the Majors. Although the criticism has been unfair, Anderson has done a good job of improving as a shortstop and is enjoying a good season in 2018 with the Sox.
Defense isn’t the only area where Anderson is enjoying success this season, he’s also been solid offensively and on the basepaths. The 2013 first-round draft pick of the Sox has a career-high fielding percentage at .970 through Friday and has only committed 17 errors. That is still a high number of errors but he’s on pace to finish 2018 with fewer errors than 2017 when he committed 28 errors.
