From what I've been reading......

what I thought would be Prado at 2nd & Drew as a backup for Jeter appears now to be, Prado in right where he's played (I believe) 2 career games. And Drew at 2nd base where he's never played before.

I guess we'll find out tonight.

...I don't understand putting Prado in RF...I would have liked an offensive upgrade in RF but it didn't happen. So why weaken RF defense for Prado?...put him at 2B where belongs and keep Ichiro in RF.

That would make more sense to me also. I mean Drew replacing Roberts at 2nd is NOT an upgrade IMO

...I think we saw how missing ST and so much of the regular season affected both Drew and Morales...neither is anywhere near mid season form.

Has Roberts been DFA do not see anything of the transaction list but he's not on the roster either per ESPN Listing.

Yes.

Bad gig for Roberts, I respected his game as an Oriole, was hoping he'd succeed as a Yankee but not to be.

I was rooting for him too. Always liked him as a player.

I 2nd that notion.....loved Roberts in his Prime; in Junkie Town.....thought he was going to be able to return to some form, he showed us as an O.....not to be...sad to see a once A.S. caliber player like Roberts, bobble balls other than his own....! No way to go out....!
