CHICAGO -- Tim Anderson played his sixth big league game for the White Sox on Wednesday night, but the club's top position player prospect already has earned plaudits from his manager.
"It's been impressive, his improvement from what we saw in Spring Training to where he's at now and even the last couple of years of doing it," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You just kind of let him play.
"He does a lot of things well. He has speed that goes with it. Some of the plays he's been making defensively is some of what we want to see. Offensively, he's very aggressive and makes hard contact. Speed-wise, that's the best part."

White Sox assistant general manager Buddy Bell has talked about wanting Anderson to play fast, which Ventura also addressed on Wednesday.
"That's part of learning up here," Ventura said. "There are going to be times he can take advantage of his speed, whether it's positionally or running the bases, stealing bases. He can play a little faster, but right now you also want him to slow it down enough where he can see what's going on and get acclimated."
