September 27, 2008 Stephen Drew was 2-for-4 on Saturday night with two RBI in the Diamondbacks' 6-4 win. Our View:Drew is quietly put together a great year at short. Drew has hit 21 home runs and had driven in 67 RBI. The season he has put together will put him the top 10 for shortstops next year. |
|
September 22, 2008 Stephen Drew socked his 20th home run of the year on Monday night on his way to a 3-for-4 effort in which he scored twice and knocked in two runs. Our View:Drew is now hitting .290 with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and 89 runs scored. In case you hadn't noticed yet, those numbers will lead to Drew being a possible top-10 selection next season at the shortstop position. |
|
September 20, 2008 Stephen Drew went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies. He hit a double and a two-run homer. Our View:Drew now has 40 doubles, 11 triples, 19 homers, and 85 runs scored this season. He has eight games left to chase his 20th homer, and should remain active in all fantasy lineups. |
|
September 17, 2008 Stephen Drew had a four-hit night against the Giants on Wednesday night to help the Diamondbacks to a 7-6 win over the Giants. Our View:This was Drew's third four-hit game of the 2008 season. Drew is hitting .321 since the All-Star break and he has obviously not been part of the Diamondbacks offensive skid. |
|
September 15, 2008 Stephen Drew was not available Sunday as he left the team to deal with the death of his grandmother, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:He returned home to Georgia, and the team indicated he is also expected to miss Monday's game. He should return in time for Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals. |
|
September 9, 2008 Stephen Drew is only three doubles away from becoming the fifth shortstop in NL history with 40 doubles, 10 triples and 10 homers in the same season, according to the East Valley Tribune. He would join Arky Vaughn (Pittsburgh, 1934), Jimmy Rollins (Philadelphia, 2004), Jack Wilson (Pittsburgh, 2004) and Hanley Ramirez (Florida, 2006). Our View:Drew has been hot over the second half of the season and shouldn't slow down when fantasy owners need him the most in September. |
|
September 1, 2008 Stephen Drew hit for the cycle for the first time on Monday as he went 5-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI on his home run, his 16th of the year. Our View:Drew has been blistering since the All-Star Break with a .339 batting average that has pushed him to .289 overall. Drew is also four home runs short of 20 on the year, and despite all the offense in the game, you simply cannot overlook a shortstop who hits .285 with 20 taters. |
|
August 24, 2008 The Diamondbacks Stephen Drew hit his 15th home run of the season in the first inning of Arizona's 5-2 loss to Florida. The young shortstop was 2-for-4 on the day. Our View:Though his plate discipline needs to get better so his OBP goes up, fantasy owners have to be pleased with Drew's overall season. |
|
August 21, 2008 Stephen Drew returned to the D-Backs' lineup Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday with a sore groin, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:Drew has been hitting well since July, and should remain penciled into fantasy lineups. |
|
August 20, 2008 Stephen Drew sat out Tuesday's game due to a sore left groin, according to the Arizona Republic. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Augie Ojeda. Our View:Manager Bob Melvin believes Drew should be able to play Wednesday. |
|
August 14, 2008 Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew went 2-for-5 with a run scored and extended his hitting streak to 16 games in his team's 6-2 win over Colorado. Our View:Drew is hitting .352 (25-for-71) during the streak, which started on July 29. |
|
August 13, 2008 Stephen Drew went 2-for-5 as Arizona's leadoff hitter, scoring a run and picking up an RBI while hitting his 30th double of the year in his squad's 6-5 loss to the Rockies. Our View:Drew is definitely a guy you can put on fantasy teams, especially if he can just bump that average up a smidgen. However, the real payoff may come next year if Drew makes the leap into the elite class that many believe he is capable of. |
|
August 8, 2008 Stephen Drew had two hits on Friday night, one of them being a solo home run, his 14th blast of the year. Our View:Drew is batting .395 over his last 38 AB to boost his average to .279. Drew has established himself as a nightly threat at the plate, and seems primed to take the next step in '09 considering his across the board growth this season. |
|
August 3, 2008 Stephen Drew, batting in the leadoff role, went 3-for-5 with a run and two RBI for the D'backs on Sunday. Our View:One of the hits was the 13th home run of the year for the shortstop, a new career best, and he is also just six runs away from tying his runs scored mark of 60 from last season. He hasn't broken out this season like some had hoped, but he has shown substantial improvement across the board other than a regression in walks (60 last year, down to 24 this season). |
|
July 31, 2008 Arizona shortstop Stephen Drew went 3-for-4 in Arizona's 2-1 win over the Dodgers. J.D.'s brother had two singles and a double. Our View:Drew hit .311 during July and raised his batting average almost 20 points, from .256 on July 1 to .273 now. He still needs to improve on his on-base percentage dramatically, but he is a good option for fantasy play, especially in NL-only leagues. |
|
July 26, 2008 The 11-game hitting streak that Stephen Drew was in the midst of came to an end with a bad performance against the Giants. Drew went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the Arizona win. Our View:Drew has raised his fantasy stock with this streak, but his plate discipline still needs to improve, as an on-base percentage under .310 is not good enough for fantasy owners. |
|
July 20, 2008 The Diamondbacks were all over the Dodgers today until the relief pitching gave up the win in the ninth, losing 6-5 to LA. Arizona's charge on offense was led by shortstop Stephen Drew , going 4-for-5 with his sixth triple of the year to post one RBI and one run scored. Our View:Drew has turned it on this month, hitting .323 through July. He needs to find better run production (just six RBIs through July) and better efficiency (.364 OBP) to make fantasy owners happy, but he's improving. |
|
June 29, 2008 Stephen Drew went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Florida. Our View:That was his 11th homer of the season, and his first since June 18. He hasn't registered an RBI since that date either. |
|
June 18, 2008 The Diamondbacks brougth plenty of bats to the party, beating Oakland 11-1 this evening, though shortstop Stephen Drew found his bat rang a bit louder than others. Drew went 3-for-5 with his 14th double and his 10th home run of the season, gathering two RBIs and two runs scored on the night. Our View:Drew has found difficult times at the plate this month, hitting just .241 through June with two homers and four RBIs before tonight. This may jump start his swing and get him back to the numbers we know he can produce. |
|
June 10, 2008 Four different players, all hitting in consecutive order, racked up two RBIs in tonight's 9-5 win over the Mets for Arizona, but shortstop Stephen Drew tops the cause. Drew went 2-for-5 with his ninth home run of the season to knock in those two runs, adding two runs scored along the way. Our View:Drew isn't hitting a ton but he's putting the bat on the ball, touting just five strikeouts versus six hits through June. |
|
May 16, 2008 Stephen Drew continued to boost his average hitting from the second hole in the order as he banged out four hits to finish at .295. Our View:Drew seems to have found a home at the top of the order, and he isn't likely to give it back to Eric Byrnes when he returns to the lineup. |
|
May 13, 2008 Stephen Drew went deep for the fifth time this season as he had two hits, two runs and three RBI for the B'backs from the second spot in the order on Tuesday night. Our View:Drew seems to be easing into the season, but he may have found a home in the two hole in the order where he is batting .310 in 20 AB. If he continues to hit at the top of the order, his value will obviously receive a boost. |
|
May 6, 2008 Arizona SS Stephen Drew carried the load on offense for the Diamondbacks this evening in the team's 6-4 win over Philadelphia. Drew went 2-for-4, hitting his fourth home run of the season to total three RBIs on the evening. Our View:Drew hasn't been swinging the hottest of bats this season, but he is now 4-for-9 over his last two. |
|
April 13, 2008 Stephen Drew went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs, and an RBI on Sunday against the Rockies. His average bumped up to .317, thanks in large part to three multi-hit games out of his last four. Our View:Drew was a disappointment in 2007, but the 25-year-old shortstop is loaded with talent. It wouldn't be surprising if his numbers took a sizable leap this year. |
|
April 9, 2008 Stephen Drew has a right quadriceps muscle injury, which may just be a bruise, according to MLB.com. Manager Melvin commented, "He got hit a couple of times, a short hop in Colorado hit him on the thigh. I think it's more of a bruise than a pull, but sometimes that can be tough for a player to differentiate." Drew was in the starting lineup Tuesday, but will likely get Wednesday off. Adjust your lineups accordingly. |
|
March 5, 2008 Stephen Drew did not play on Wednesday due to the flu, the Arizona Republic reports. |
|
March 1, 2008 Stephen Drew , who was held out of Friday's game, had three wisdom teeth removed, notes the East Valley Tribune.
