Upton v. Drew

For those not interested in commenting on the quality of the Tigers rotation vs. the Yankees or Red Sox rotations, here's another one.

As we all know, Justin Upton and Stephen Drew are both playing SS for the Diamondbacks in the minors.  Something has to give.  Does Upton move to LF/RF/3B to accomodate Drew?  Or does Drew shift to 3B/2B/LF to accomodate Upton?  This is all considering, and contingent upon, Chris Young will be manning CF.

Having seen no actual live play or film of either guy, I'd venture to take a wild shot in the dark and say I would probably move Drew to 2B and leave Upton at SS.  With those two gloves up the middle, with Young behind them, Brandon Webb should sign a very long extension with the DBacks.

Poll question allows for 2 years of growth in the minors for Upton.
