    According to Buster Olney, Drew was acquired to be a platoon at 2B with either Rob Refsnyder or Jose Pirela...and/or a "safety net" at SS for Gregorius if the kid struggles.

    So Drew is new older Prado? One would think having both Refsyder and Pirela constitutes a safety net. This looks like cya to me. There may be internal doubt to his strategy/moves thus far (rightly so) and so he did this. The issue I have is who the hell is driving player assessment and risk mitigation. Throwing a $5M question mark at two minimum salary question marks doesn't compute.

    ...exactly. Like I said, I just can't wrap my head around some of Cashman's moves so far.

    ...if he can land Shields or Scherzer I'll be more inclined to overlook these moves...if he doesn't, well, I'll be on his ass about it.

    I think we've found our first universal truth on this board for 2015.
