People like Drew are vital to the MLB system and severely overlooked. Long term minor league players greatly assist in helping to build and develop talent. Think of all the young talent that played with and against Drew, and all the direct and indirect lessons he taught those players as they moved up, and he stayed back. It’s a butterfly effect that, frankly, the MLB needs to consider when they negotiate salaries for these minor league vets.
