...when the game is on the line (high leverage) Drew's #s are .164 .233 .255 .488...and when it doesn't really matter (low leverage) his #s are .234 .304 .505 .809.
Like I said. It's easiest for all of us to bash the lowest hanging fruit. But if we're expecting the ninth place hitter to carry the team we're in trouble. I'd rather look at guys like Garnder who bat second and have been downright horrendous for two months now.
I can't see them winning without Eovaldi, yet I'd rather see Seve any day, well, more or less.........!
Girardi makes the line ups cards out, without Trashmans consent? Joe's got his hands tied, due to Brian's "Master-Plan"
...true, but Drew has been horrible for 2 years now and the only reason he's batting 9th is because he sucks and should never have been signed/resigned. ...nobody expects Drew to cary the team, but he should at least carry his weight...our previous 2Bman certainly didn't bat 9th...just sayin'.
B/T Cappy and Drew, I can't help but think, they're butt buddies, hanging out in Trashmans Mansion, according to 'The Plan'.....
And our previous SS didn't bat seventh so it's a silly comparison and argument from that standpoint. Any and everyone realizes he isn't and never was going to be Cano. Plus, as scary as it might be Drew has hit better than Gardner the last couple of months. It starts at the top and if we're going to continue to get that kind of nonsense at the top of order either Gardner needs to be dropped down or he's going to have to split time. On top of that if Ellsbury doesn't heat up for the stretch you can really forget it.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=drew--001ste take a look at his 2005 line, 38 games; He played here in Lancaster, as well take a look at His following years. From what I've seen in A+ ball here in Lancaster, including the likes of Trout, Griffey Jr, A-Roid, and tons of others as rookies, I gotta' say most Jethawk fans in 05, KNEW Drew, should of made it not only to the Majors, but expected a helluva lot more production, once he made it......
...the point stands, Drew is batting 9th for obvious reasons. ...And wtf does our previous SS have to do with this?...we're talking about 2B....again, NO ONE said anything about Drew "carrying this team"...you alone interjected that. ...Drew is DEAD LAST in MLB 2Bmen with 300 or more ABs...and there's nothing silly about being unhappy about that regardless of what Gardner, Ellsbury, et al are doing.
About as much as Drew has to do with Robinson Cano. The point is its been 140 games so we know where we're at with Drew. It is what it is. The other option is Ryan so there's nothing we can do at this point.
...uhhh, no,....Cano is a 2Bman, Drew is a 2Bman...Jeter was a SS. Bringing the SS position and comparing it to the 2B position is what was silly. Nobody said a word about Gregorius vs Jeter. ...and I don't care how many games it's been...140 games or not...Drew is a horrible tandem. Spin it however you want, but he's the worst 2Bman in Baseball...and I'm sorry, that's unacceptable, regardless of where he bats in the order.
There's nothing to do about it. That's the point. So to go on and on is paramount to banging your head against a brick wall. Donaldson just put one into orbit and we're worrying about Stephen Drew.
