Many years ago, Fire Brand Poll #109 asked you about Stephen Drew and what his role should be upon rejoining the Red Sox a couple weeks ago. Most of you responded that Drew should take over the full-time shortstop role, with the two platoon options (Middlebrooks and Bogaerts) coming in second and third. Unsurprisingly, not many of you were fans of playing Drew at third, as it finished beneath the “Other” option. Will Middlebrooks has yet to make a return to the major leagues following his injury, so how Farrell will incorporate Drew into the lineup when the full squad is healthy remains to be seen.

How should the Red Sox utilize Stephen Drew?

  • Full-Time Shortstop (41%)
  • Part-Time Shortstop (Platoon with Middlebrooks) (24%)
  • Part-Time Shortstop (Platoon with Bogaerts) (14%)
  • Other (11%)
  • Part-Time Third Baseman (Platoon with Middlebrooks) (10%)
  • This week, I’m keeping the poll simple:

    Is Brock Holt a Hall of Famer right now?

  • Let me know what you think and I’ll have the result here next week (for real this time) with a new poll!
