What I hear in his response is, I don't want to be second guessed and don't want to look wrong. He continues to say that Rob Refsnyder isn't ready for the Majors when Stephen Drew shouldn't even be in the Majors! If the Yanks could win three World Series with Chuck Knoblauch at second then Refsnyder can't possibly do anything to hurt this team. I hear a whole lot of NOTHING in his answer. Just blabbering.

The Yankees dropped Alfonso Soriano after 67 games last year because he was hitting .221 with 6 homers and not contributing. Drew is at 47 games hitting .160 with 5 homers!!! How is he still here?? He says, "you can't wave a magic wand and something else can appear." Abracadabra Jose Pirela. He can play second easily. Remember Martin Prado? The super utility guy you traded to Miami who is hitting .284 with 21 RBIs? Ya he can play second too. So don't give me the there isn't anything out there cop out. The reason we're stuck with Drew is because of your idiotic "managing." Remember 2005 when we had a young second baseman in the Minors named Robinson Cano but you chose to sign Tony Womack instead? I do. Same Cash, different crappy player.

There is no defending Drew anymore. Don't tell me it's early in the season. It isn't April. It's June. The division is getting tighter and tighter. Drew has had over 300 at bats in his Yankee career and is doing absolutely nothing. Are there other holes the team needs to address? Absolutely. But Stephen Drew is the biggest hole sinking this ship.
