Thoughts on the Drew signing?
I'm very conflicted. I'm 25, and I was just too young to really understand the early careers of most of the home grown Red Sox talent. Xander was the first one I really followed, understand he was going to be fantastic. The idea that Xander is the next Tulowitzki is burned into my brain. That being said, Xander is insanely young, and will be getting bigger so maybe third base is the place for him to go. It's just tough to see what Xander is going to bring to the table from a usually offensively challenged position, allowing the Red Sox to put someone like Ceccini on first.
I like Stephen Drew, but this signing is mostly a referendum on Will Middlebrooks and his failures to develop at the major league level. I know it's stupid, but I wanted Drew to start at third so Xander could keep getting reps at short. It's worse for the team, and probably not even Xander's future position.
