Is Stephen Drew dead weight

Hate this guy. But I drafted him and afraid when his hammy heals up, he'll be good.

Or am I fooling myself?

Are you drunk? Unless you are in some sort of 5-team fantasy league, Drew should not be dropped.

true. but in the meantime while Drew is hanging out on the lawn, I picked up Bartlett and Asdrubal Cabrera. Both doing pretty well.

hammy can be one of those finicky all-season things which affects batting speed, swing, and also that needed extra ummph at SS (errors is a cat for my league).

just wanted to get more thoughts.

and the year prior? 12hr at .238

i mean, yes, i hear you, but not enough data (years) to make an assumption for this year. hammy injuries suck. we've all been there. hurts like a mug. and you lose confidence for a while.

You may feel you don't need him on your team, but he's a guy you definitely don't drop. At least trade him. You can't tell me there's not an owner that wouldn't want a 20+ SS who bat for a high average as well.

I don't see Bartlett keeping up his performance. I also don't see Drew continuing his underperforming ways. You need to either hold on to Drew or trade him. To drop him and get nothing in return is foolish.
I never smile if I can help it.... Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.

Ok, well then you can hold his rookie year against him while I look at the bigger picture, meaning his 167 game track record in the minors in which he hit .315 with 31 home runs 121 rbi and 116 runs. With that being said, theres not enough data to support your argument.

so you're saying minor league level = major league level. wow. there's not enough data to support yours either.
