Red Sox sign JD Drew

[Reckoner]

5 years, $70 million. It should be a nice lineup with Drew, Ramirez, and Ortiz in the meat of the batting order. I still don't think this guy is worth $14 million a year, however.

Definitely not worth the jack they're throwing his way. Best thing to happen to the dodgers was him opting out of his contract.

 

[Gibson486]

waste of money......

$14 million is way too much for him.

 

[honkee]

Hes a waste of money, been following the kid since the cardinals.

[JS80]

He should do well in the 80 games he plays next year.

If he goes with his pattern of a big season every 3rd year, I guess he's due in 2007. 2001, 2004, 2007. Yeah, that's got to be the analysis that Bill James performed and convinced the Sox to sign Drew.

If by "big season" you mean "batting .300" then OK.

By big season I mean OPS+ of 160. But the Bill James part is sarcasm.

That's as much as Pujols. Kinda scary the kind of money that mediocre players can get these days.

i like that move. he'll do well in spacious petco and he can give invaluable advice to the younger pitchers. in fact, a pitching coach as the manager (bud black), a proven pitching coach (darren balsley) and now the mind of maddux. wish we could've gotten manny though, but they wanted peavy and he's still years away from free agency.

JD Drew is a straight bum. He's always hurt and he just doesn't produce. I can't believe they gave him that amount of money. Sad.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

what the hell are the red sox thinking??? thats crazy amount for drew!
