RS sign S Drew

[KCBRUIN]

While I have been arguing in one direction, I am encouraged by Drew's splits last year. It looks like he started off playing poorly on the bum ankle and gradually improved every month.

 

June .167 .231 .167 .397

Jul .192 .277 .260 .537

Aug .205 .317 .352 .670

Sep .275 .342 .451 .793

 

Hopefully the ankle enjoys the offseason and we'll see a season closer to the .793 than the .397.

 

And to be fair he only had 12AB in June. Did he miss Spring Training? Either way starting cold after an injury for a month isn't really unexpected. If he missed spring training the extra time to warm up makes even more sense.

Sox probably over paid for Drew, but its for only one year. His numbers last year are off because an injury he was recovering from. Its probably his job heading into spring, and it would take a hell of a spring by Iglesias to take the starting job back. Ciriaco comes off the bench and Iggy starts the year at AAA. This will be his last year to prove to the FO he can hit.
