According to the report, this is the third time Drew has missed time because of injury this year. He missed two weeks with a hamstring injury in June while at Single-A Lancaster. Before that, while playing in the independent Atlantic League, Drew missed some time due to a sore foot. Remember that Drew missed most of last season due to his holdout, so he may still be showing signs of rust …
Or being a Drew!!!

Can I get some advice ... thanks:

19 Team points league, 5 minor leaguers, 3 swap outs/year. Scoring: Power Hitters>>Closers>Starters, Middle Relievers, and (Batting) Average Hitters.
Anth. Reyes (SP STL), C. Jackson (1B/OF ARI), and Andy LaRoche (3B LAD) have spots locked-up.
I am saving a swap-out for either J. Upton or A. Gordon, if I can get them after they sign. Should I pick-up James (P ATL) or Hansen (P BOS) instead of Olsen (SP FLA) and Hawksworth (SP STL).

That was one of the knocks on Drew, that he is just like his brother and can't stay healthy. He is a great talent, but so far he has done nothing to prove anyone wrong that thought he was injury-prone.

On the advice, maybe it's just cause I woke up ... but it's hard to follow. You have 3 of the 5 spots locked up and your saving 1 in hopes you get Upton/Gordon, right? So are you asking if you should pick up one of those you listed at the end and drop Drew?

In any case, forget about Hawksworth he has a good way to go before he gets back to were he was.
