Today, in a three-way, we obtained 25-year-old Brandon Drury from Arizona, a team known to hate us. We gave up Nick Solack and Taylor Widener, two promising youngsters.
Here he is. Pour a drink first. The spreadsheet on Brandon Drury.
Downside: No speed; one SB per year. He strikes out a lot, one in every five ABs. Doesn't walk. His batting average is on the descent. He bats right. His MLB statistical comparison hitting doppelganger through age 24 is Adonis Garcia. Yeah, Adonis Garcia. He's not even a former first-round draft pick, the kind to which Cashman instinctively gravitates.
Upside: Middling power. He hits .278 against lefties (platoon with Tyler Wade?) We won't sign Neil Walker or Mike Moustakas, thus saving luxury tax money (he makes the MLB minimum). Guy plays 2B, 3B and OF, and let's face it: If Glyber Torres cannot replace him by July 1, we'll have a bigger concern on our hands.
Middleside: Jabari Blash has been released. Jabari, we hardly knew 'ye.

So I guess this is Gleybar Torres sucks insurance?
But the stupid thing is, we already had that insurance.
There was Toe, and Wade, and behind them Thairo the Pharaoh, once he recovers from his bullet wound.
This is just insurance on top of insurance. As Duque says, at least it's not Neil Walker or the Toddfather. But good grief, what a useless move!
Makes you wonder if neither rookie is ready to play. A lot like how Bird wasn't ready to play last year and then we got Carter. But most importantly of all... Jabari Blash!!! The fun we could have had with every HG blash, I mean blast! Now we have Brandon Dreary, I mean Drury.
This signing was actually Sterling’s idea. He’s hoping for back to back and belly to belly from Judge and Drury.
Well u don't want the young guys coming in thinking they own the place and getting complacent...competition brings out the best...look at the two Aarons Last year...I like the move low risk no prospects involved no money....and Souza is out of the east
Humbug
Excellent, Beauregard...excellent!
By the way, I'm not sold on Wade by any stretch.
