JD Drew in the Lineup

When Papi Comes back, where do you put JD Drew in the lineup?

JD Drew may bat in different spots in the lineup, switching between the third, fifth, and sixth spot in the order depending on the pitching match up.  My thought is that if he is swinging good, keep him at the three spot in the lineup.  With Drew hitting third, you can take some of the pressure off of Ortiz by hitting him lower in the order.

    Good call. I was thinking of the same question. You almost have to go with J.D hitting 3rd if he continues on the pace he is on.

    Unfortunately he’s cooled off considerably. It probably doesn’t matter where you put him in the lineup now.

    Fingers crossed hoping Pedroia stays hot.
