"...The 16 strikeouts were all well and dandy until Drew hit a walkoff 2-run ninth inning bomb off Hoffman, his first homer of the year. Drew was often drafted among the top 10-11 shortstops before the season started, and has made his way to many a waiver wire since then, batting only .224 thus far.
The homer was an encouraging sign, though, as is his 1.1 BB/K ratio. I had him ranked as the 14th shortstop in the pre-season, and still think he can reach the .284/16/66 line that I projected for him then. His contact rate of nearly 87%, combined with a low BABIP suggest that he'll be hitting like expected some time soon. In 674 minor league at-bats, he hit .315 with 31 HR and 121 RBI to go along nicely with a .385 OBP. As he's only 25% owned in ESPN leagues, now might be as good a time as ever to nab him."

When Is Zero Greater Than Sixteen?
The story was supposed to be Jake Peavy's 16 strikeouts and complete dominance. The story was supposed to be Terrmel Sledge's opposite field home run off sinkerballer Brandon Webb. The story was supposed to be anything but what it became.It's a credit to the Padres' bullpen that a two-run lead headed to the eighth is considered a victory.
