FYI, the Boston Globe reports that Drew will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. If he had taken the $14+M qualifying offer, I think he would have again been tethered to a draft pick.
FWIW, the Red Sox outfield offense is so pathetic that if Drew clicks and Middlebrooks ever goes back to hitting one homer in every 20 at bats, which is his career average, then I think Bogaerts will have the opportunity to show the world that he can play left field as well as or better than Mike Greenwell, Daniel Nava and Jim Rice, which won't be that difficult.
Any progress reports on Detroit shortstop Julio Iglesias? His 60 day stint on the DL probably ends on May 30, though the predictions from the get-go were that he would be out at least until the All Star break.
