Drew Into his Own?

The Boston Herald writes about Stephen Drew's great second half of 2008:

Getting it going last season took a while, but after the All-Star break, the left-handed batting Drew hit .313, mostly from the leadoff spot. The highlight came last Sept. 1, when he hit for the cycle against the St. Louis Cardinals.

For the season, Drew became the first shortstop since Robin Yount to hit 40 doubles (44), 10 triples (11) and 20 homers (21).

He credited his success to simply "seeing the ball well."

If second half success is any indicator, then Troy Tulowitzki and Jason Bartlett should have great 2009s, too.
