Fantasy Analysis
Drew can do no wrong of late at the plate. In his last three games, he's hitting 8-for-14 (.571) with a homer and four RBI. There aren't many hitters that are hotter than him right now and Fantasy owners have to realize that this is a player with .300-25-100-100 potential -- as a shortstop. That's elite stuff right there.
