Lars Anderson, a 20-year-old first baseman in the Red Sox organization, went 3-for-5 with a homer on Monday in high Single-A. He is slugging .551 with three homers in 49 at bats so far in 2008, but he continues to strikeout too frequently (21.8% of his plate appearances). He has now struck out at least once in each of his past nine games. Last season he struck out in 21.0% of his plate appearances.
