Former Astro prospect Josh Anderson designated for assignment

MLB.com's Jason Beck is tweeting that former Astros OF prospect Josh Anderson was designated for assignment by the Tigers.

Anderson was the Astros 4th round pick in 2003, and spent four seasons in the minors, hitting .308 with 43 steals in 130 games for Corpus in 2006 (and 50 SB in 2005). Anderson was traded in November 2007 to Atlanta for Oscar Villareal (and we all know how that worked out). Atlanta flipped him this past March for minor-leaguer Rudy Darrow.
