    Drew can no longer blame last season on not having a full spring season. And Kendry Morales went through the same shit last year as Drew did & he's fine this year. Cashman needs to admit he fucked up on Drew & just move on.

    Aaaaaaaaaa-Ffffkkknnnngggg-MEN.......!

    One thing, I've seen, that becomes crazy, is watching Drew as a Single A+ rookie.....

    One can never really tell if a A+ guy, (or Minor Leaguer, College Stud or anyone else) who shows production, in the Lower Ranks, will ever be on a tear offensively - (long term in the Majors), and /or ...will ever amount to anything more than a pile of ......: :craphead:

    Check out 2005, Lancaster, CAL Lg.....stats: obscene, even more obscene Drew still cannot hit, and like you I don't think last years hold out has a thing to do with Drew's anemic bat......proof Rookies, often get a good year in, maybe two, before the opposition learns how to pitch him, for an out every damned time, it seems like.........

    It's as if he[Girardi] concedes games more frequently of late.

    Oh yeah, 3 way blame today, Crapuano with a faulty start, Esmil botching up the relief, and the offense getting handcuffed by a dud like Edinson Volquez..I hoped they'd have had a better effort today. Washington next, Jesus Christ, the Nats are starting to heat up. Hey Cashman when you gonna give Joe someone other than Drew to run out there today???????????????

    And lets not forget that the two games with the Nats on Tuesday & Wednesday are NL rules so no DH. which equals no A-Rod. But what the hell maybe a 4 day rest will be good for him.
