Veteran shortstop and former AL batting champ Tim Anderson was designated for assignment by the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Anderson struggled offensively throughout his 65-game stint in Miami, hitting .214 in 234 at-bats with three extra-base hits. 'It's never an easy day when you have to DFA one of your everyday players,' Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said before a series-opening game against Boston. 'Tim was awesome in the clubhouse.
335 and won the AL batting title. 'It's one thing if the guy's not putting in the work and that's an easy move. This was not one of those cases,' Schumaker said. 'Tough day for us and I hope he lands on his feet somewhere because he's still young and still has a lot to give to the game.' First-year Marlins president Peter Bendix made Anderson his first notable free agent addition, signing him to a one-year $5 million deal in February.
