Drew just isn’t a good player anymore. Maybe he needs to be at short, but he’s the kind of guy who used to show up on an expansion team’s roster. At his peak, he was a quality player, never a star. He had the bad injury, slipped, then got caught up in the hype of the 2013 RS team where his actual on the field performance, while good, was exaggerated. The Red Sox were smart enough to offer the QO without a longer contract, and Drew was foolish enough to not realize that who he did in 2013, if on a mid-level and less media exposed team, wouldn’t have gotten him the type of high salary multi-year offers he wanted. He could improve some, but it’s doubtful he’s ever going to be a high quality player.
