"Scouts are not only down on Carlos Beltran, particularly his chances
of playing an agile right field, but several evaluators following the
Yankees are seriously questioning what Stephen Drew will be able to
contribute.
Drew, who batted .162 last year for Boston and the Yankees, is hitting
.161 this spring, after going 0 for 3 and striking out twice on Sunday.
The Yanks have made clear that Drew is not competing for the second
base job. He will be the Opening Day second baseman. But with the
experts seeing a slow bat and wondering if the 32-year-old Drew is shot,
you wonder if we’ll see Jose Pirela or Rob Refsnyder before summer."
And when I say "scouts" are worried about Stephen Drew, I mean "anyone with eyes."
