Back in January, the Washington Nationals signed infielder Stephen Drew to a one-year deal worth $3 million. Before this past season, Drew hadn’t had a batting average higher than .201 in each of the prior two seasons. In a limited role this year off the bench, Drew found a way to make a positive impact as one of the go-to guys for Dusty Baker.
One of the things Drew did well this season was he gave the Washington Nationals power off the bench. In pinch-hitting situations, the 33-year-old had three home runs and six RBI’s.
