Check out 'Who's Hot?"
Jason Anderson was the 2nd round pick (47th overall) of the Sacramento River Cats in 2015 out of Mt Carmel HS, MI.
In 2017 Chicago sent SS Angel Lopez, 3B Jimmy James, SP Enrique Lopez, SP Anselmo Israel and C Francisco Reyna with 650K in cash to Sacramento for Anderson. He was drafted as a 2 way player. He was a big time power hitting prospect as a 3B. In 306 games he hit .272 with 36 homers and 178 RBI's.
2 years later he, along with CF Cooper Bannatyne, SP Mike Hamilton, 3B Wes Morgan and a 4th round draft choice were shipped to San Antonio for SP Stan Hall and a 4th round pick.
San Antonio converted him to a pitcher, where has pitched in 52 games, going 93 IP 86 H with 58 K's and 30 BB's.

A nice side note, the exchange of 4th rounders allowed us to move up and select RP Cisco Casas in 2019.
