Anderson was born in Thousand Oaks, California, on December 16, 1986.[1] He attended Simi Valley High School in Simi Valley, California. The Cardinals selected him in the fourth round (140th overall) of the June 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
Following the draft, Anderson was assigned to the Johnson City Cardinals, the Cardinals's rookie league team in the Appalachian League. He played 51 games in 2005 for Johnson City and hit .331. In 2006, he began with the Single-A Quad Cities River Bandits in the Midwest League. He played the full year and batted .302. In 2007, he was advanced to the Springfield Cardinals, the Double-A affiliate in Missouri of the Texas League. He did well and hit .298. He began 2008 in Springfield, hitting .388 with two homers and 14 RBIs in April. He was then promoted to the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds of Pacific Coast League (PCL). He spent 2009 in Memphis as well.
In 2010, Anderson was a non-roster invitee to Cardinals spring training. On March 15, which was relatively early in camp, he was optioned to Memphis.[2]
In April 2010, Anderson was recalled from Memphis when back up catcher Jason LaRue was placed on the 15-day disabled list.[3] He made his major league debut on April 15, 2010.[4] He saw limited action, appearing in 4 games, and was reassigned to Memphis on April 27 when LaRue was reactivated.[5]
