Movin' on up by Jared Carrabis
Lars Anderson promoted to Pawtucket


According to Dan Barbarisi of the Providence Journal, once highly touted Red Sox prospect, Lars Anderson, has been promoted to the Red Sox triple-A affiliate, the Pawtucket Red Sox.

In 2009, his second year with double-A Portland, Anderson greatly underachieved, hitting .233, with 9 HR and 51 RBI in 119 games. The previous season, split between single-A Lancaster, before being promoted to Portland, Anderson hit .317 with 18 HR and 80 RBI in 118 games.

His stellar 2008 earned him a pre-2009 ranking among baseball prospects at number 17 by Baseball America.

Knowing that he needed a hot-start to redeem himself in the eyes of the organization that drafted him in the Amateur Draft back in 2006, Anderson did just that.

Anderson hit .355 in 17 games for Portland this season, with 5 home runs in 62 at bats. The lefty bat his belted five doubles, driven in 16 runs and has slugged his way to a 1.086 OPS. Certainly these numbers are worthy of a promotion, and that is why Anderson is on the way to triple-A for the first time in his professional career.

Red Sox fans wish him well on his road to the show.
