Brian Anderson wants to convert into a pitcher from being an outfielder. "Brian Anderson has elected to become a pitcher," manager Trey Hillman said on Thursday. "I'm not sure how that process is going to go, but it's got to start at the very bottom, so we're kind of mulling through that right now." Anderson, 28 and right-handed, was signed as a free-agent outfielder last Dec. 23 by the Royals. He had split the 2009 season between the Chicago White Sox, his original club, and the Boston Red Sox.
