OF J.D. Drew snapped a 12-game homerless drought when he launched a two-run blast to dead center field in Monday's win over the Baltimore Orioles -- a game that also marked a return to the leadoff spot for the right fielder. Drew was 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs in the game and is an amazing .444 (16-for-36) hitter with six home runs and 12 RBIs against the Baltimore Orioles in his last 11 games against the AL East foe. Drew has also been asked, according to a Washington Times report, to return an unspecified amount of money to the government in a Ponzi scheme that he -- and several other Scott Boras clients -- unknowingly invested in over the last few years. |

Drew batted leadoff in Monday's win at Baltimore and collected three hits, including a triple and homer. Recommendation: Drew has seen at-bats at almost every spot in the lineup with the exception of cleanup, although he’s primarily hit second and fifth. Drew has good on-base skills so it’s not out of the ordinary for him to bat leadoff, although Boston has other options (Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury). |
