The Diamondbacks are expected to call up Stephen Drew to take over at shortstop for the injured Craig Counsell.
Drew will probably start against righties, with Damion Easley handling shortstop chores versus lefties. Drew hasn't done a lot offensively since April, but he is worth picking up in NL-only leagues with Counsell done for three to six weeks. If the 23-year-old plays well enough, Counsell might not get his job back. Jul. 15 - 1:24 am et

I wonder if he will get the majority of AB's or sit behind Easley most of the time. It would be nice if they weren't like the Angels and just called up prospects to pinch run. :-b

They will bring him up to start...That is why he hasn't been called up sooner, because they want him getting AB's, and playing everyday... Look for the start of the future in AZ ;-D

Stephen Drew is starting and batting 8th...
According to Bob Melvin he will play everyday ;-D

Here is the info:

Stephen Drew - SS - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks recalled shortstop Stephen Drew from Triple-A Tucson.
He's batting eighth tonight. Manager Bob Melvin said the left-handed-hitting Drew would be his everyday shortstop while Craig Counsell was out. Since he actually had an OPS 200 points higher against left-handed pitching in Triple-A, the Diamondbacks might as well give it a try. He should have some value in NL-only leagues.

From Rotowire

Drew will be recalled to Arizona from Triple-A with Craig Counsell out three to six weeks with a broken rib, the Associated Press reports. Drew may be the top prospect in all of baseball and should get regular playing time. He's someone to pick up quickly in most formats. He was hitting .284/.340/.462 at Triple-A Tucson.

Is this guy that good? Better than Kendricks, Marte etc ?

Most people would say Kendrick is better, especially since he plays at a harder position to get in fantasy baseball. Drew is probably just outside the Top 5 prospects for me in the minors, but is pretty much a sure Top 10 prospect.
