Mike Anderson
Tapped as a "can't miss" prospect, outfielder Mike Anderson missed. Blessed with a great throwing arm, Anderson was a very good right fielder, but he never lived up to his projected potential at the plate. Phillies manager Danny Ozark once said of Anderson, "His limitations are limitless," which really doesn't make any sense, but his point was (we think) to praise Anderson's talents.
