A mature prospect who recently defected from Cuba, Leslie Anderson (Stephens) is a plus-contact hitter with a high level of patience and discipline that's uncharacteristic of most Latin American exports. In Cuba, he has been experienced at both infield and outfield corners, and he even subbed in at centerfield for the power-laden Cuban National team in 2008. A natural lefthander in the field and at the plate, he projects as an MLB corner with better defense and less power than most. He definitely looked comfortable in AAA Durham last year, putting up a near identical .277/.359/.418 line to the one he posted a year earlier, though he did raise his homer ttal from 11 to 13. He will turn 30 n 2011, so he doesn't have much room to develop, but he looks good enough to be on Tampa's bench tomorrow, so maybe that's just as well.
