Drew is a decent option, but he leaves you thinking, why bother? You are better off looking to someone with more upside at the point Drew's name becomes a possibility at your draft. In auctions, spend the eight bucks on someone with more upside as well. .280-80-20-65-2 in 425 at bats

Positives / Upside	Drew has become one of the most consistent and reliable options in the fantasy game. Between 2007-2009, Drew posted three seasons that mirrored each other in nearly everyway. However, he saw a nice bump in homeruns in 2009, hitting 24, the most he has hit since 2004. Drew posts a decent average and walks a lot, promising another year with a solid run total. Drew never met the huge potential he possessed, but he has developed into a solid and reliable fantasy baseball player.
Negatives / Downside	Drew is always hurt, which prevents the possibility of another season like 2004 when he hit .305 with 118 runs, 31 homeruns, 93 RBI, and 12 stolen bases. At 34, his career is winding down and the upside is limited. He hasn't produced enough over the past several seasons to excite fantasy owners, and a slide in his totals may be in the cards for 2010.
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	267
