Stephen Drew signed by Yankees

[Cubbie Swagger]

I heard on 670 AM today that the Cubs are actively pursing Stephen Drew. I haven't payed any attention to him in years. Thoughts?

[Clem Fandango]

I really like his ability to be bad at baseball

We are probably a better team with him starting at 2B to begin the year than we are with Mr. Winter league there

Can't we move Al Contra to 2B and look for a CF instead since the middle IF options are apparently so crappy the Cubs are looking at Stephen [expletive] Drew?

i am a teensy bit afraid that alcantara can't really play cf, so this would be nice for that reason as well.

Gonna guess the Cubs aren't too thrilled with Baez's incredible winter league

Baez' winter league stats are every bit as predictive as Junor Lake's.

There's just something about a guy hitting .220/.301/.377 in his last 1,000 AB's that gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Drew, Baez, or Alcantara? :wink:

Sounds like another case Scott Boras translating a brief exchange into an active pursuit.

I like to live with the illusion that players are still like Rogers Hornsby, just waiting for spring and the season to begin. Norman Rockwell baseball, America at it's finest.

 

Not only does he suck, I can't stand him because he preferred to sit out half the season in 2014 rather than take a 14m QO or 2yr 20 mil from the mets. Would hate to have him on the Cubs.

[Clem Fandango]

His asking price is rumored to be more than what Colby rasmus is rumored to want.

[Post Count Padder]

Drew to the Yankees on a one year deal.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, thank Christ.

[Guancous]

Theo: 1 year, $450,000?

Boras: 2 years, $20 million

Theo: OUT

I don't think we'd offer less than league minimum.

What on Earth is that? Does the front office have its own Wednesday night bowling team?

[ConstableRabbit]

Probably from Kerry Wood's bowling event.

Looks like they are extras on a Star Trek episode
