Unlikely Stephen Drew plays in Red Sox opener

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Red Sox didn’t think anything was wrong when Stephen Drew was hit in the head by a pitch from Minnesota’s Caleb Thielbar March 7.

The ball seemed to glance off his helmet and Drew went to first base without any delay. He later scored and stayed in the game for another two innings.

This is their big off season signing.  How does last place sound?

There is a severe lack of testosterone with the Drew family.

Stephen is no diferent than JD.

Wimp!
