Morrissey Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Beause hes the best option we have. Pirela will get his at bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Drew sucks. Brendan Ryan is even worse. Pirela needs to start at 2nd when the season starts until he cools off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Our best option hit .190 last year. OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Part of the reason why the Yankees don't develop positional players is because of moves like this. Its so bad its really hard to believe. Steve drew? Are you joking?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Our best option hit .190 last year. OK.I give him a mulligan for last year, circumstances were not ideal. Pirela will make the trip up north, he'll get his at bats, and he's next in line to start if Drew shows he can't hack it. Not in spring training where results mean little, but when it matters in April and June. I had no problem with re-signing Drew to a 1 year deal. Refsnyder last year played a poor 2B, and he's continued that this spring. Unfortunately he may be a guy without a position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Least of the Yankees worries. He can play an above average second base and before last season was respectable with the bat. If he completely sucks? So what release him. 5 million is pennies to the Yankees. If it works out and he plays like 2013? It's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Teams cant find shortstops. He's only 1 season removed from a 3.4 WAR playing shortstop. I know he's playing 2B for us right now but don't expect the Yankees to get rid of him any time soon, he's the SS if anything happens to Didi.

The Troll Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 $5 million on 1 year isn't a lot for him. It's quite a bit for someone that was a black hole offensively last season. Very little power or speed and below the Mendoza line. His OPS+ was THIRTY NINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His OPS+ was THIRTY NINE.Drew got more than double that last year from the Red Sox and difficult circumstances that I believe greatly impacted his season is why he only for $5 million this year. And obviously he's evaluated by his entire baseball card, not just one line of it. Everyone needs someone to beat up on, obviously Drew is the guy this year.

I know he's playing 2B for us right now but don't expect the Yankees to get rid of him any time soon, he's the SS if anything happens to Didi. Which is key, if Didi flops completely(worst case scenario) you have an above average defender at short with Drew who before last years fiasco was a pretty decent hitter for a SS.

Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Pirela and definitely Refsnyder are below average 2b defensively at this point. Need more seasoning at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Stephen Drew has been heating up this past week, maybe missing all of spring training and part of the season really did effect him last year.Let's not forgot 2013 he hit double digit home runs, hit over .250 and played a really good SS for the World Series champs.
