Just days after Rob Refsnyder made his major-league debut, he was moving furniture into a Manhattan apartment.
"Lots of heavy lifting," he said. "But it's on the first floor, so that was nice."
The apartment isn't his, per se. Even for a top prospect, moving into a new apartment just two days after reaching the big leagues would be rather presumptuous.
It belonged to his fiancee, Monica Drake, who like Refsnyder, had recently earned a promotion. He was coming from Triple-A to Major League Baseball to play for the Yankees; she was moving from Miami to New York to start her new position with PepsiCo.
