2023 Fantasy Outlook
Anderson was non-tendered by the Marlins after the season and latched on with the Brewers on a one-year deal, and he's expected to primarily play third base while also being an option in the outfield and at first base. Anderson has struggled through injuries each of the past two seasons while retaining a disciplined approach at the plate but seeing his numbers slide each of the past three seasons while he played through the injuries. The 20 homers of 2019 were clearly a product of the baseball being used that season, and he may have a hard time reaching those heights again with Milwaukee's park factor more recently favoring pitchers. He will likely end up in right field sooner rather than later as his range is declining but the arm is still elite. His splits have truly been all over the place, but he has historically handled righties better than lefties which should help keep him out of a short-side platoon situation. There is still good in his bat buried underneath the recent scar tissue, and he's an intriguing option should he land in the right place this winter. Read Past Outlooks

Expected to play primarily at 3B
Anderson told reporters via Zoom on Sunday that he will primarily play third base, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Anderson also said the team has talked to him about playing in the outfield, and also potentially at first base. The former Miami infielder/outfielder signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Brewers after being non-tendered by the Marlins following a disappointing 2022 season where he posted a .657 OPS over 98 games.

Stat Review
How does Brian Anderson compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The implementation of the universal DH bodes well for Anderson in 2022 if his body does not fail him the way it did in 2021. Much was made of Fernando Tatis' shoulder subluxations last year and how he avoided surgery; Anderson had the same problem but could not avoid surgery. His first shoulder issue cost him nearly three months, and that was followed by an oblique injury, COVID-19 and a second shoulder subluxation which led to him having surgery in mid-September. The problem now is that the surgery was on his front hitting shoulder, which hurts a hitter's ability to get full extension on their swing and generate full power. He's twice cleared the .800 OPS threshold in a season, but performance expectations should be modest coming off the procedure.
