Stephen Drew Will Not Bat Leadoff

Bob Melvin shot down the notion that he was considering batting young shortstop Stephen Drew first in the order. "I don't really know if I want him in the leadoff spot," Melvin said. "He can drive in runs, hit behind runners, can be fairly aggressive, probably isn't the highest walk guy we have.” Prospective owners should take note; Drew would likely collect more runs and stolen bases while batting leadoff, but should see more RBI opportunities wherever he winds up.
