After a couple weeks of Stephen Drew knocking the cover off
the ball and knocking that ball over the fence for the big league club he has
earned back the “Stephen Drew Sucks” nickname given to him here at The Greedy
Pinstripes. While the drum beating for Refsnyder never stopped here on the
blog, and it never will until the second baseman is called up to the big league
club, it did get a bit quiet there for two or three weeks… That stops today!
Refsnyder would bring an immediate jolt to this inconsistent
and struggling offense from the right side of the batter’s box. Refsnyder would
not only balance out the lineup but would also add on base percentage and a
great batting average to the bottom half of the lineup. This would help with
the Yankees inability to string together hits and would help with their
reliance on #TooManyDamnHRs while also plugging in some speed at the bottom of
the lineup.
Imagine when Jacoby Ellsbury comes back having Didi
Gregorius bat 8th, Refsnyder bat 9th, Ellsbury leading
off and Gardner in the second slot. That’s a whole lot of speed, a whole lot of
contact with Ellsbury and Refsnyder and a whole lot of potential to score and
manufacture runs. But no, we still have Drew.
