Stephen Drew to be Called Up

Pick him up! Craig Counsell is likely to be out of the lineup for 3 weeks with a broken rib, so the job is Drew's for the taking. Many thought he should have won it out of Spring Training, but the organization thought the veteran counsell was the better short term choice. In full time work over the course of the next few weeks he's as likely to have an instant impact as any rookie call-up. He was hitting .284 with 13 HR and 51 RBI on the season.
