Stephen Drew is out there for not a huge amount and he'd be a good 2B. We don't have any options for 2nd in the system.

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that it's "clear" that agent Scott Boras still wants Stephen Drew to get at least $14 million this season.
Drew turned down a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Red Sox to test free agency, so Boras is still aiming to find a similar salary for his client on the open market. The Mets aren't going there and he'll likely be hard-pressed to find it elsewhere, especially with draft pick compensation attached. The wait continues. Feb 18 - 2:01
