News
Cubs signed 1B/OF Lars Anderson to a minor league contract.
Forecaster Impact
Anderson spent the first couple months of last season at Triple-A with the White Sox, hitting an embarrassing .194/.302/.251 through 266 plate appearances before being released. He's still just 26, but the former top prospect has simply never progressed as hoped.

Anderson hit .357 with two home runs in 14 at-bats this spring in the Grapefruit League, but there just isn't a place right now for him on Toronto's roster. He should be given a shot at some point this summer.

News
Diamondbacks designated 1B Lars Anderson for assignment.
Forecaster Impact
Anderson hit just .250/.353/.396 with nine homers and 59 RBI in 111 games between Boston and Arizona's Triple-A affiliates in 2012. But he was considered a top prospect not long ago and could draw interest from other teams. The move was made to clear roster space following the Justin Upton trade, which involved seven total players.
