STEPHEN DREW RUMORS & GOSSIP

Red Sox activate Andrew Bailey from DL, Stephen Drew back in lineup

The Boston Red Sox activated Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list on Monday. Bailey missed three weeks with a right biceps injury but should move right back into the closers role in Boston. Prior to the injury Bailey had a 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 20/4 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings. With Joel Hanrahan out of the picture, Bailey should have a comfortable grip on the closing duties...

Stephen Drew Overcoming Early, Unfair Criticism to Become Threat at Bottom of Red Sox’ Order

The tune is suddenly changing in Boston. Stephen Drew started off his Red Sox career in a difficult spot, and it only got worse as he struggled out of the gate. Now, Drew is becoming a consistent threat at the bottom of the Boston order, and it’s becoming increasingly easier to justify the Red Sox signing the veteran shortstop during the offseason. Drew hit a grand slam and reached...

Lester still unbeaten; Drew hits slam

Jon Lester stayed unbeaten, Stephen Drew hit his second career grand slam and the Boston Red Sox roughed up AL Cy Young winner David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays 9-2 on Wednesday night.

Jon Lester, Stephen Drew Both Play ‘Grand Slam Stopper’ for Red Sox Badly in Need of Win (Video)

Sometimes, a win’s a win. Other times, it can matter a little bit more. Wednesday’s win over the Tampa Bay Rays was more of the latter for the Red Sox, who entered the day badly in need of a win. They turned to Jon Lester to right the ship, and that’s exactly what he did — just like he usually does. The tough left-hander improved to 4-0 following a Red Sox loss this season...

After Slow Start Stephen Drew Is Settling In With Red Sox

Stephen Drew’s Walkoff RBI, Four-Hit Night End His ‘Spring Training,’ Give Red Sox Boost at Perfect Time

The first two weeks of the Major League Baseball season are always the most fun for stat heads. Over the course of just a few games, a perusal of their favorite teams’ box scores can show players hitting .500, .625 or even .800. Every hit can send the batting average up a dozen or so points, while a slump can put a usually dangerous slugger well below the Mendoza line. For Stephen...

Recap: DREWWWWWWWWWW leads Sox past Twins

That wasn't boos in Fenway.

What to do with Stephen Drew?

Stephen Drew expected to come to Boston and make people forget about the way his brother played. Picking the exact same number that his brother had didn't help him the slightest and the way he started the year on the DL with a concussion hasn't helped either. Before Drew came up to for his second at bat yesterday against the Athletics he was in a 4-36 slump. He had struck...
