Tim Anderson

Tim Anderson played in only 79 games in 2022, just another lost piece in an overall lost White Sox season. The issue for fantasy managers is that he hasn't been durable, crossing the 150-game mark only once in his entire career. Anderson hits for a high average and doesn't strike out much, which puts him on base and with great baserunning instinct (81% career success rate). Anderson and Xander Bogaerts are being drafted very closely together in NFBC drafts and appropriately so. If Chicago can become what everyone thought it might be last year, Tim Anderson will be a huge reason why. Just make sure to draft a durable second option later.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson spent most of the 2022 season hampered by injuries for White Sox club that finished as a major disappointment. The second baseman was a dynamic catalyst at the top of the lineup when healthy and will look to return to his previous mostly healthy production at the plate. Anderson finished 2022 hitting .301 with six home runs, 13 stolen bases, and 25 runs batted in and will surely be a popular bounce-back candidate ahead of drafts.
