Small improvement for Royals.

The Kansas City Royals got Josh Anderson from the Tigers for some cash.  This was a good move for both teams.  But, a really good bargain for the Royals.  Anderson was designated for assignment and had to clear waivers to be put in the farm system.  That would be unlikely.  So, rather than wait their turn, the Royals gave the Tigers cash and made it a trade.  The Tigers get money out of the deal instead of losing him for nothing.  Win win.  He has hit .242 in 74 games and has 13 stolen bases.  He strengthens the outfield for the Royals and gives them a little more speed.  Since he is only 26, he has a year or two more perhaps to improve.
