Anderson seems to be a lock for a rotation spot heading into 2017, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

At this time last year, the left-hander was rehabbing an elbow injury and was expected to get more seasoning against hitters at Double-A and Triple-A, but after a strong 2016 campaign in the big leagues, he officially gained the organization's trust with a major league roster spot. Anderson is especially intriguing heading into the 2017 season given his excellent numbers at Coors Field (3.00 ERA, 68:18 K:BB ratio). If he can improve his performance on the road, the 2011 first-rounder could put together a stealthily solid stat line.
