| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Not exactly a prospect question, but still a scouting one: Stephen Drew's production has been significantly lower than his tools would lead one to project, right? If so, do you put that all on makeup or do some guys just never quite put it together? (Jake from Kalamazoo) | Hard to say; depends on the player. Makeup might play a role, or perhaps the tools were overrated in the first place. Again, its hard to say without taking a focused look at the player. I can't speak to Drew's makeup. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-04-25 13:00:00 | In a 10 team mixed league I've got great depth at scarce positions with V-Mart and Russell Martin at C and Tulo and Stephen Drew at SS but a few nagging holes in the pitching staff. I can only play 1 utiliity guy so if everyone's healthy at least one of those 4 is on the bench every week. Should I think about trading 1 of them to upgrade my 2 start starter/flavor of the week at SP and Hope-this-guy-vultures-a-save-or-2 at RP, or hold on to my depth and enjoy being able to survive injuries to key positions? (buddons42 from Detroit) | It's a 10-team mixed, so you should be aggressive. It's not like you will run out of options to pick up, and you don't want to burn innings you could be using because of injuries. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2011-03-08 14:00:00 | In a NFBC 15 Team (Mixed) format how would you approach the limited SS position? (bfitzge3 from Upstate NY) | Obviously getting Hanley or Tulo in the early going would be ideal, but I'm leery of the Reyes/Jeter/Rollins group this year for various reasons... too much uncertainty with all three. I'd rather wait a few more rounds and try for a Stephen Drew or Alexei Ramirez, or go a little deeper for Ian Desmond. (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2010-09-21 13:00:00 | Yes, local consensus at the time was that the Padres drafted Bush to avoid the Boras clients (Weaver, Stephen Drew). (formersd from San Diego) | It's a good thing the Padres do well in the later rounds of the draft. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-08-26 13:00:00 | Will Stephen Drew ever have his post-hype breakout season? Or he destined for a .260 TAv in 2011 and beyond? (Andrew from Toronto) | I'm starting to think this is who he is. The power hasn't really been there outside of 2008, and he should at least have inflated stats because of his home park. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-07-09 13:00:00 | I've been offered Stephen Drew and Troy Glaus for Zobrist. I've needed a 1B since Morales went down. Does 2nd half Glaus = 1st half and any word on Drew's knee? (Mark from Milwaukee) | Is this a keeper league, or single-season? (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | Middle of the pack in saves with lots of room for upward movement in NL only 12 team, top 3 in 4 of 5 offensive categories. Trade Stephen Drew for H. Street? Drew would not be a save player for me. (PF from Loop) | I hate the idea of trading that much talent for a closer. If you really need the saves and have another SS, it can work, I'm just leery of that sort of thing in general. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-01-19 15:30:00 | Trade Stephen Drew, Austin Jackson and Budd Norris for David Freese, Scott Downs and CJ Wilson? In a dynasty league and have no relief pitching (Jquinton82 from NY) | I don't usually answer fantasy questions, but you do know that the Rangers are going to try Wilson in the rotation this spring, right? Even if he does go back to the pen, seems to me you're overpaying. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-04-29 14:00:00 | What do you expect from Stephen Drew this year? He went from super prospect to disappointment last year; can we expect a move back towards respectability this year? .280/.350/.450 seem reasonable? (danbuttolph from Denver) | I wanted to draft Drew as my SS, but he was snagged before I got to that point in my roster construction. I'm a fan, and think last year was an adjustment year for him. I can see him beating out your forecast for him in the power department, either because of his park or because he's good enough to do so. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-03-31 13:00:00 | Better offensive numbers this year, Stephen Drew or Yunel Escobar? (Alberto from Boston) | Aargh. PECOTA says Drew. I'm not a big believer in either, but I think that Drew is more likely to go up and Escobar more likely to go down, so let's go with Drew. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-03-18 17:00:00 | Hey Jim, who's more likely to produce a better year, Alex Gordon or Stephen Drew? (Otocinclus from NYC) | Propositions like this are at the very root of my 2008 Prospectus Matchups contest. Going by EqA, independent of position, I'm going with Gordon on this one. By the time all was said and done at the end of 2007, he had climbed to about league average. Drew might get there this year (about .260), but .285 sounds more like Gordon's level in 2008. (Jim Baker) |
| 2008-03-17 12:00:00 | Do you think Stephen Drew finally breaks out this year? I was really high on him until his brutal performance last season. He did give me some hope with his playoff performance. (Phil from Scottsdale) | there are at least 15 SS I take before him in a mixed draft this year. (Mike Siano) |
| 2008-03-05 13:00:00 | Gauntlet Legends ROCKS! "Green Warrior... Needs food... NOW!" Gotta love that! If you were offered Shane Victorino for Stephen Drew and A McCutcheon in a 5x5 keeper league, what would you do? What about Ed Encarnacion instead of Victorino? (DILLS from Chicago) | Gauntlet is coming out on Nintendo DS, and IGN's headline was something like, "DS Needs Food Badly!" What a great headline.
It depends on how thin the rest of your minor league roster is honestly. Do you have other players down there, or is he necessary for your team's future? (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-02-27 13:00:00 | My BP08 arrived while I was reading this chat. It looks great--thanks for a great product, as usual.
Stephen Drew--after noting that his walk rate was among the top shortstops last year, I thought BP would like him for 2008. The book blurb is kind of down on him. What do you think about Drew? (jlewando from DC) | Glad you got the book, sir or madam. On Drew, the walk rate is certainly better than not having it, but the other aspects of his season were pretty forgettable. A .236 EqA is, to borrow a popular congressional phrase, what it is, and as the comment details, there are reasons to think that it's not totally out of line with what our expectations should have been. Add in that the fellow turns 25 in just a couple of weeks, and we have a pretty good chance at being disappointed here. Let's hope we're wrong on that one. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2008-01-31 13:00:00 | Thanks for your great work. What type of numbers do you see Stephen Drew putting up this year? Does .270/.360/.450 sound reasonable or a pipe dream? And what are your thoughts on Donnie Murphy, assuming he gets at-bats with the A's? (Dennis from LA) | I'm not much of a Murphy fan. I think he's a decent bench player at best, and if he's playing every day for you, that means something, somewhere has gone horribly wrong. I'm very, very optimistic still about Stephen Drew's future, and I don't think that line is a pipe dream in the least. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-01-17 14:00:00 | Thanks for your great work. Do you think Stephen Drew can be a consistent .280/.370/.450 player over the next few years? And what is the best book on the Pacific War you've read? I know you talked about "Shattered Sword" last time. Any other recommendations? Thanks! (Dennis from LA) | It's plausible, but that's because the park would help, and I'm still a bit of a skeptic where Drew's concerned. Yes, his debut in '06 and his Cubs-wrecking October were impressive; it's just everything else about his career as a pro that's been a disappointment.
Hrm... I've pretty much always favored the ETO in my leisure reading, beyond reading the books that gave me any insight to my grandfather's service as a carrier pilot. Something that would cover China, Burma, New Guinea, the Japanese strategic decision-making... I've read a few, but not sure if there's the "one" that I could recommend. (Christina Kahrl) |

| 2010-04-05 09:30:00 | Season Opener Roundtable | Jon Garland's out of the game, down 6-0. His curveball wasn't sharp (he gave up a two-run single to Montero with it, as well as the crushed homer by Mark Reynolds) but the defense cost him, too. Stephen Drew hit a ball off of an outcropping in deep center, bounced into left field away from Tony Gwynn and turned into an inside-the-park homer. Tough day, but he wasn't six runs through four innings bad. (Marc Normandin) |
