Prospect: Goose Anderson
Age: 18
Born: Fort Wayne, Indiana
Primary position: SS
Secondary position 3B
Preferred number: 15

Throw: Left
Bat: Left


18 year old prospect Goose Anderson arrived at the Topps Amatuer Showcase hoping to make himself known to the scouts in the stands. After a standout high school career in Indiana, it was time for Goose to find out if he had what it takes to try and break into professional baseball, or if he was destined for a college career.

The first game of the Showcase pitted the Central Region team up against the squad from the West Region. Despite batting last in the lineup, Goose would make the most of his first at-bat in the second inning, roping a single into center field to move the runner from first to second. Unfortunately his time on base would be short lived as the next guy up would ground a ball to the shortstop, with a simple toss to second base enough to get Goose out for the final out of the inning. His second at bat, with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, would see Goose fly out to right field. Coming up with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and a runner on first would also end through the air, as a fly out to left field would bring the inning to a close. Stepping into the box with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and runners on first and second, Goose would get some redemption as he would take a first pitch strike and send it up the gap into right field. Unfortunately the runner on second would try to take a shallow single and turn it into a two base run, getting tagged out at the plate after the throw beat him by a mile, bringing the inning to an end. The game would end up being a drubbing as the West Region smacked around the Central Region 14-4. For Goose's final stats, he ended up going 2-4 with two singles, having three good rated at-bats out of four plate appearances. Despite batting .500 for a team that gave up 14 runs and lost by 10, Goose was still projected to be drafted in the middle rounds.

The second game of the Showcase saw the Central Region play host to the East Region. Despite going 2-4 last game, a game that saw the Central Region get drubbed 14-4, Goose was still stuck batting dead last in the order. Leading off the bottom of the third inning, Goose stepped into the batter's box, but it would be a short, and poor at-bat, as he would go fishing on the second pitch and hit a soft grounder straight to the second baseman for an easy out. Returning to the plate with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Goose would rope a fastball down the first base line and into right field for a single. It would be another short trip on the bases as Goose was thrown out at second on the ground ball by the next batter, but he was at least able to break up the double play. Coming up to bat once more to lead off the bottom of the seventh, Goose would rope a first pitch strike down the first base line once more for another single, putting the lead runner on for the inning. A single into center field by the next batter would see Goose advance to second base. A double play to the third baseman would see all of the other bases end up empty, but Goose would remain alive at third base. He would ultimately make it to within 10 feet of home plate, but would not get to score as the final out was recorded on a hit back to the pitcher. Goose would get one last chance to impress the scouts at the plate, coming up to bat with no outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the ninth inning. The at-bat would be a disaster as he would softly ground a pitch back to the pitcher for a double play. Central would go on to lose the game to the East Region 4-1. For Goose's final stats, it was another .500 day, going 2-4 with two singles, having two good rated at-bats out of four plate appearances. Despite the consistency of two straight .500 games, it wasn't enough to impress the scouts as Goose remained projected for a middle round draft pick.

The third and final game of the Showcase, and Goose's last chance to improve his draft stock, would see the Central Region visit the stars from the International Region. Goose came up for his first at-bat with two outs in the top of the 2nd inning and a runner on second. He would end up carrying a second pitch strike deep into center field for the third out. He would get another shot at the plate to lead off the fifth inning, but it would be short lived as he'd crack a pitch right back at the pitcher for an out. Goose would return to the plate with one out in the top of the seventh inning and a runner on first for quite possibly his last at-bat of the Showcase. If it was his last at-bat, it was a good one as he lined a pitch just over the second baseman's head for a single. The next batter would hit into a double play however and the inning would come to an end. Goose would end up getting one last shot, coming up to bat with one out in the top of the ninth inning. He would rope one down the right field line, rounding first and trying to stretch it into a double, but the right fielder would rifle the ball into second to beat Goose to the bag for the second out. Ultimately, it was ruled a single for that final at-bat, so Goose's final stats ended up .500, going 2-4 with two singles, all four at-bats were rated good.

The final stats for the Showcase, first the Central Region ended up swept, going 0-3 for the Showcase. For Goose, he would end with a .500 average for the entire Showcase, going 6-12 at the plate with six singles. The consistency must have finally paid off as Goose was given a final draft projection of a second round draft pick.

The second round of the 2014 draft got underway, the round that Goose Anderson was projected to be drafted in. It was clearly a pitcher heavy draft from the onset as the first 7 picks were made on pitchers. Some shortstop needy teams would proceed to pass on Anderson, as Miami would get in on the run of pitchers with a starting pitcher from the Central Region, as would Minnesota with a reliever from the West Region. Philadelphia would also pass on finding a potential replacement for the aging Jimmy Rollins and choose a reliever from the West.

The first position player to go in the draft was Central Region right fielder Homer Duncan, a new member of the Toronto Blue Jays organization. The New York Mets, another team in need of a shortstop would instead pick the second straight right fielder from the Central Region in Anthony Burkett. Milwaukee would go with a first baseman while Colorado would draft a reliever. The Padres, who could use some depth at shortstop elected to take a catcher. The next shortstop needy team was the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 15th pick, would end up drafting a second baseman from the Central Region.

The first shortstop of the draft (not named Goose Anderson) would be selected with the 16th pick by the Baltimore Orioles, Cliff Macias from the East Region. The New York Yankees would pick up a third baseman from the International Region while the Kansas City Royals would grab a catcher from the West. After a pitcher was selected by Washington, the Cincinnati Reds were the next team on the clock, and with the 20th pick of the second round of the 2014 MLB draft, the Cincinnati Reds would select Central Region shortstop Goose Anderson.

Goose faced a tough choice, signing with the Reds and potentially end up riding the pine behind Zack Cozart for the better years of his career, or head off to a 2-year junior college and try his luck again in two years.

In the end, after seeing Cincinnati take a second shortstop a couple of rounds after him, instead of having a potential position battle right from the start of his professional career, as well as potentially dealing with battling Zack Cozart for a starting spot in the future, Goose decided to head off to a two-year junior college and try and get drafted into a more favorable position. Was it a gamble, turning down a second round draft selection from the Cincinnati Reds, a team almost always in the hunt for the playoffs each season? Absolutely. But Goose had high sights for his career and was willing to gamble big for a small gain.

Too bad on that. I would have loved to have been drafted by the Reds. However, I get what you are saying about position battles. My long-term hopes for the Padres seem unlikely as their is a log-jam at 3rd base within the organization.

Yeah, it would have been fun playing with the Reds, but the future for my player would have been too muddled. Cozart probably isn't going anywhere in the majors anytime soon, they already have a similarly rated shortstop in Double A so I would have been battling for time in the lineup from the very start, plus throw in that second shortstop they drafted a couple of rounds later. It would have been a three-way fight just to get at-bats and time on the field while trying to use my first years as a Double A rookie to get training points and build up my stats.

I'll have to see how I do in this second trip through the Showcase. I used all of the training points that I had gained from the first Showcase, plus those I got from going to two-year junior college, and dumped them all into Plate Vision and Contact vs. R/L, so I should better this time around. I should be able to get better contact and make better hits.

Taking his second shot through the Topps Amateur Showcase, Goose Anderson returned from a two-year junior college, where he saw marked improvement in his plate vision and his contact versus both left- and right-handed pitchers. Hopefully those two years of training and extra games will help Goose play better this time around.

The first game would see the Central Region once again play host to the prospects from the West Region. Despite the improved skills, Goose was only able to climb two spots in the batting order, hitting seventh this time around. He came up to bat for his first time in the bottom of the second inning with one out. Despite working a couple of balls out of the pitcher, it would be an unproductive at-bat as Goose roped a pitch deep to the center fielder for an out. After an UGLY third inning that saw the West Region score 8 runs, Goose came up for his second at bat in the bottom of the fourth inning of an 11-1 drubbing. Batting with one out in the inning, Goose would pick up where he left off two years ago as he drove a first pitch strike up the gap and into center field for a single. A wild pitch to the next batter would allow Goose to advance to second base. After a strikeout, a two out single to left field would advance Goose to third base to leave runners on the corners. The very next batter, he would do something he never did last time in the Showcase, he would score a run on a ground ball into center field to cut the deficit to 11-2. Goose would return to the plate to lead things off in the bottom of the sixth inning, unfortunately his at-bat would be short lived with a weak grounder back to the pitcher for the first out. He would get his last chance at the plate with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, but it would end up as a piss poor pop-up to the catcher. The Central Region would proceed to get molested to the tune of 15-2. Final stats for Goose, he ended up a poor 1-4 with a single and one run scored. His finished with at-bat ratings of two good, one neutral and one bad. Despite the poor showing, Goose's first evaluation had him projected to be drafted in the early rounds.

The second game of the Showcase saw the Central Region host the East Region on a rainy, crappy day for baseball. Unfortunately Goose was bumped down to the eighth spot in the batting order after the previous game. He would come up for his first at-bat with two outs in the bottom of the second inning. Despite a couple of close pitches, Goose would lay off all of them and draw a four pitch walk off of the pitcher. He would get no further than first base however as a line drive at the shortstop by the next batter would end the inning. After a pair of walks and a single, Goose would come up for his second at bat in the bottom of the fourth inning, stepping into the box with the bases loaded and one out. After holding off of two pitches for a 2-0 count, he would unload on a pitch and send it to deep right field for a sac fly, drawing in an RBI and moving the runner from second over to the third to give the Central Region a 3-0 lead. Goose's third at-bat would come in the bottom of the sixth inning, stepping in with a runner on base and no outs after a leadoff walk. Despite holding off a first pitch fastball for a ball, Goose would ultimately end up striking out after chasing a curveball low and outside. Goose would come up for his final at-bat of the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, still looking for his first hit of the game as his scoreline officially read 0-1 with a walk and sac fly. He would step in with no outs and a runner on first. Chasing a pitch outside the box, he would drive it deep to left field for a fly out. After five tries, Goose would finally be on a winning team as the Central Region handed the East Region a 5-2 defeat. Final stats for Goose, he ended up 0-2 with a walk and a sac fly, driving in one RBI. Three of his four at-bats were rated good. Despite ending with no hits in the game, the four pitch walk (as well as drawing multiple 2-0 counts during his other at-bats) and the sac fly to drive in the RBI were enough to impress the scouts and keep his draft stock high in the early rounds.

The third and final game of the Amateur Showcase would pit the Central Region against the stars of the International Region. Goose was able to jump back into the seventh slot in the batting order. He would step in for his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning with two outs and a runner on first and would make the most of the opportunity as he'd drive a first pitch strike all the way to the wall of left-center field for a stand up double and an RBI. Goose would return to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning, leading off the inning for the home team, but he would end up striking on of a full count pitch thrown on the upper edge of the box. Goose's third chance at the plate would come in the bottom of the sixth inning with one out, but he would lift a first pitch strike up high to center field for a fly out. That would be Goose's last chance of the day as the game would end before he could bat in the ninth inning, as the Central Region would improve to 2-1 with a 5-1 win over the International Region. Goose's final stats for the day was 1-3 with an RBI double. Of his three at-bats, one was rated good, one neutral and one bad.

The final stats for the Showcase, first the Central Region ended up finally tasting victory, going 2-1 in the Showcase. For Goose, he would end with a .250 average for the entire Showcase, going 2-8 with a single, a double, one run, two RBIs, a sac fly, two strikeouts and one walk. Despite the so-so performances, it would turn out that Goose made the right call to head to two-year junior college and take a second crack at the draft, as his final evaluation before the draft gave him a projection of being an early first round draft pick.

Thanks to a better overall showing (despite the step back in batting average and hits), Goose Anderson was able to improve his prospects from a 20th pick in the second round two years ago, to an early first round draft projection this time.

The first round of the draft got underway, as the Houston Astros used the first overall pick to select Fernando Peralta, a catcher from the West Region. The Miami Marlins would go with Daniel Tejeda, a first baseman from the West. The West would continue sweeping the picks as the Chicago White Sox picked West Region shortstop Robb McGowan and the Minnesota Twins selected right fielder Michael Linn. Apparently the West Region was LOADED this year as the Chicago Cubs used the fifth pick on West Region relief pitcher Charles Warren. It would continue to be a sweep of West Region picks as the Seattle Mariners selected relief pitcher Diego Rosales, the Philadelphia Phillies selected closing pitcher Henry Munoz and the Toronto Blue Jays selected center fielder Phil Fagan. Unbelievably, the run on West Region players would continue as the New York Mets used the ninth pick on West Region starting pitcher Koki Yamazaki and the Milwaukee Brewers selected West Region starting pitcher Manny Pena. The West Region would completely sweep the first ten picks of the draft. The eleventh pick would finally be a non-West player, as the Colorado Rockies would select Central Region shortstop Goose Anderson.

While Colorado may be a favorite team of this writer and an overall great landing place for an RTTS player of this writer, it is a horrible landing spot for Goose Anderson. Goose may end up having to demand a trade sometime down the road as any chances of a major league career are probably dead in the water. With Troy Tulowitzki the starting shortstop for the Rockies, rated 95 overall with A potential and only 29 years old, any chances Goose has of making it to the majors at shortstop are slim. If anything, his only hope would be for the Rockies to call him up and stick him at third base. Despite the very poor career outlook for Goose (even worse than what he was facing with Zack Cozart at Cincinnati two years ago), after jumping from a 2:20 draft pick to a 1:11 draft pick, Goose Anderson just couldn't take the chance on another one or two year trip to university and risk having his status drop and end up going worse in the next draft. He'd have to have an incredible third Showcase to improve on being taken 1:11.

For the record, the West region would proceed to then dominate five of the next six picks after Goose. In all, the West Region accounted for 15 of the first 20 picks and 17 of all 30 picks in the first round.

All of the Colorado Rockies draft picks in the draft were as follows:

1:11 - Goose Anderson, Shortstop, 20 years old, Central Region
2:11 - Andres Navarro, Starting Pitcher, 18 years old, Central Region
3:11 - Pedro Bautista, Catcher, 21 years old, Central Region
4:11 - Clay Grady, Starting Pitcher, 18 years old, East Region
5:11 - Tom Baek, Starting Pitcher, 21 years old, International Region
6:11 - Harold Calderon, Right Fielder, 20 years old, Central Region
7:11 - Victor Castilla, Starting Pitcher, 20 years old, International Region

I got traded in my first year and again in the first month of year 2 without ever asking to be moved. I wouldn't get too caught up on whoever drafted you, chances are you will not break into the Majors with them.

Sounds good to me! :D

My chances of usurping Troy Tulowitzki from the shortstop throne in Colorado is essentially nil. However I would make great trade bait. Using the training points from the two showcases and what I got from going to two-year Junior College, I'm currently rated at 57 overall and have an A potential with a Top Prospect perception. So I would make a great prospect addition to any trades the Rockies might try and pull off.

After two tries through the Amateur Showcase and a two year detour to junior college, the time had finally arrived for Goose Anderson to take his first step toward a professional baseball career, as he suited up for his first game with the Tulsa Drillers. His first opponent in Double A, would be the Corpus Christi Hooks, and it wouldn't take long for Goose to get his first taste of Double A ball as he would be the lead off batter.

http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/x...48828715_o.jpg

After an uneventful top of the first inning, Goose would step into the batter's box for his first Double A at-bat.

http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/x...72255124_o.jpg

Despite falling behind 0-2, he would manage to foul a couple of close pitches of and work a couple of balls out of the pitcher, before ending his at bat with a 6 pitch ground out to the pitcher. After getting an infield assist on a double play in the top of the third inning, Goose would return to the plate for his second at bat in the bottom of the inning. It would end poorly however as he'd swing at a first pitch strike and immediately ground out to the first baseman for the second out of the inning.

Coming up to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning, Goose would finally taste success as he'd swing at a first pitch strike and loft the ball into short left field for a single, his first career Double A hit.

http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/x...04440305_o.jpg

He would replicate that success in the bottom of the seventh inning, as he'd hit a single just out of the reach of the second baseman and into right field. Goose would manage to make his way over to third base after a walk and a wild pitch. Unfortunately he would end up stranded at third as a ground out to the pitcher would end the inning.

Goose would get one last chance in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he would proceed to ground out to record the second out of the inning. In the end, the Hooks would taste success as the Tulsa Drillers got drilled 10-2 after a 7 run sixth inning turned the game into a laugher. For Goose's final stats, in his Double A debut, he went 2-5 for a .400 average with two singles, making it as far as third base after his second hit.

Thanks! I haven't decided yet just how I'm going to go about this, if I'm gonna make individual comments (not necessarily in their own individual post) about each game or if I'll do something like you do, and basically condense and summarize an entire series into one post.

As for streaming, I'm going to try. I haven't had the greatest of luck streaming on Xbox One, couldn't get a good, unlaggy stream even on low settings a couple months ago. I tried to stream a Play Now game of The Show a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn't bad on medium settings. A couple half or one second hangups here and there, but for the most part it seemed smooth. I may try it again now being in RTTS in a minor league as opposed to a major league stadium, less graphics on the screen.

The second game of Goose's Double A career would suffer greatly. Leading off for the Drillers, his first at bat would be drilled deep to center field, but caught for a fly out. Coming up with one out in the bottom of the third inning, he would swing at a first pitch strike and send it right back at the pitcher for a lineout. It would be the exact same ending in the sixth inning as Goose would rocket a pitch back at the pitcher, bouncing off Mark Appel's leg and deflecting up in the air, where Appel would catch it for the out. The final at bat for Goose would end with a hard hit groundout down the line to the first baseman.

Goose's final stats for the game, 0-4 to drop his season average to .222.

It would also turn into another blowout for the Drillers. Despite scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 2-1 lead, Tulsa would immediately give the lead right back in the seventh inning as Corpus Christi scored twice to take a 3-2 edge. The Hooks would then again pile on the Tulsa pitchers in the top of the ninth inning, scoring an absurd 8 runs in the inning to turn a 3-2 game into another ass whooping, an 11-2 final.

The last game of the Corpus Christi series would see Goose remain the leadoff batter for the Drillers. Today he would not go hitless as he turned on the third pitch he saw and roped a single into right field down the first base line. Unfortunately a lack of support would see Goose left standing at first. Leading off the bottom of the fourth inning, it would be a short at bat for Goose as he would unload on a first pitch strike up in the box, sending it to deep center field for a fly out. Goose would return to the plate with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, but it would be another short lived at bat as he would sent a pitch over the middle on the ground right at the second baseman for a groundout. Goose would get one last shot at the plate with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. He would send a first pitch strike into the gap in right field for a single. The inning would end before a single pitch was thrown to the next batter as the pitcher was able to sneak a move on Goose and pick him off at first base.

Goose's final stats for the game, he went 2-4 for a .500 average, bookending his four at-bats with two singles. He would also be on the receiving end of a pickoff in his last at bat.

His final stats for the three game series against Corpus Christi, he ended with a .308 average after going 4-13 at the plate with four singles. Tulsa meanwhile gets off to a very rocky start to the season, dropping all three games to Corpus Christi by the combined score of 26-4. The next series for Goose and the Drillers will see them welcome the San Antonio Missions to town. Hopefully Goose can find some better action from his bat in that one.

I have no guarantees that a stream will work well and look good with my connection, but I am going to attempt streaming the San Antonio at Tulsa series, specially for Jaymo so he can watch as Goose and the Drillers layeth the smack down on those spawns of Satan. :)

Nice! :D

:D I'll let you know when I'm about to start streaming. It'll probably be a bit later tonight, dinner will be ready in a little bit, so I doubt I'll start it before then.

Planning on starting up the San Antonio series here in the next 15-30 minutes. Gonna take a little batting practice while streaming, see how the stream turns out.

Just multi-tasking but I will try to check it out and report on your streaming quality. Do you know your upload speed? I avg. about 2.55 and I can stream on high.

Well, I ran two test streams of batting practice, one on medium, one on high. The medium, other than one or two hiccups, ran pretty smooth. High, it had a lot of places and times where it would start lagging and fragmenting. So high probably is out of the question for now.

I ran three straight speed tests, getting the following results:

14.83 down/1.10 up/35 ping
16.06 down/1.17 up/38 ping
15.66 down/1.20 up/36 ping

Me thinks I'm gonna have to spend some time chatting with Time Warner this week, find out why our upload speed sucks so much.

So, I guess I'll try to stream the San Antonio series here shortly on Medium, hopefully it goes well.
