14. JOSH ANDERSON, of, Lexington Legends (Astros) Age: 22 Ht: 6-2 Wt: 195 B-T: L-R Drafted/Signed: Astros '03 (4) Anderson struggled a bit after moving up to high Class A, but he was hard to stop in the SAL and finished the year in the Double-A Texas League. He's still viewed as raw by many managers despite his three years of college background, and he has less power and raw speed than Bourn. However, he's a polished basestealer who led the minors with 78 swipes and was caught just 13 times. Anderson's stock as a tablesetter would be higher if he had better command of the strike zone, which he didn't demonstrate after his promotion. His best tools are his bat and his plus-plus speed, and one manager described him as an effortless basestealer. He's a good center fielder, though he can get reckless at times. "He knows how to play offense," Joyce said. "He's got a short, compact swing that makes contact, he has savvy and speed and an idea of how to read pitchers. He'll get better as he learns the strike zone more."

MATT ALBERS, rhp, Lexington Legends (Astros) Age: 21 Ht: 6-0 Wt: 205 B-T: L-R Drafted/Signed: Astros '01 (23) Albers was one of several players who ran into trouble at the SAL all-star game in Charleston, S.C. Rome all-stars Chuck James and Matt Esquivel were sent home after a barroom incident at the event, and Albers was suspended for a month by the Astros organization afterward, reportedly for an alcohol-related incident. However, he returned to the rotation in August and finished the season strong, striking out 51 in his last 34 innings. Albers ranked fifth in the league in strikeouts despite the missed time. Stocky and strong, he got those whiffs primarily off his fastball. It reached 93-94 mph consistently and he held that velocity deep into outings. "His fastball had average life, but he had pretty good command of it," Clark said. "I thought his curve at times was a good pitch, and he'd throw it in fast ball counts. He was also very effective against lefthanders, even though I thought his change was below average. Down the line, it could be a good pitch for him."
