Simi grad Anderson promoted to Triple-A

After posting a .388 average in his first 80 atbats of the season with the Springfield Cardinals of the Double-A Texas League, Simi Valley High graduate Bryan Anderson has been promoted to the Pacific Coast League's Memphis Redbirds, a Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Prior to his promotion earlier this week, Anderson, a lefthanded hitting catcher, ranked fourth in the Texas League in batting average and 10th in onbase percentage (.412).

Anderson's first game with Memphis was Tuesday against the Salt Lake Bees. He went 0-for-3 with a walk.
