Mark Kotsay set to re-sign with Red Sox John Smoltz is going to have some friends on his new team in Mark Kotsay and J.D. Drew. I know we don't care that much about Kotsay. Really the only reason to remember him is that he was the first Braves player to hit for the cycle in something like 20 years.

Milton Bradley reached an agreement with the Cubs worth about three years and $30 million. Bradley, like J.D. Drew, is a good player who doesn't translate well to fantasy baseball. He's often out of the lineup with an injury, preventing...

via collegequest.files.wordpress.com B-R.com box score | OTM coverage | I don't care what you call him, but here's some suggestions for JD Drew nicknames: Not "Nancy" "Clutch" In Drew's two seasons as a Red Sox, the moments I remember of him always seem to be crucial home runs. His last came in game two of the ALDS against the Angels. You remember the game? Of course you do. It started off great. The...

via bayareabaseball.today.com 'Tis the season for community projection results. It's when I stick my nose into Excel for a few hours and figure out where people went right and wrong. A community projection, if you don't know, is where members of the OTM community predict how a certain player will do in the upcoming season. To see an example, here is J.D. Drew's . And speaking of Drew, we start with...

Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo : 5. Jermaine Dye : The White Sox right fielder fits so well with a few teams, including Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, and the Mets. Dye was a player the Red Sox were hot after before pursuing J.D. Drew. The Rays are trying to deal the back of their starting rotation - Andy Sonnanstine or Edwin Jackson - for a power-hitting righthanded [sic] bat, but the White Sox would want...

Does anyone else think Ryan Ludwick looks like J.D. Drew? When I first glanced at this picture on the AJC I really thought it was Drew: Then I went looking for a picture of J.D. Drew, and found this one: Seriously, the resemblance is there. Now maybe it's just these particular photos, but I'm convinced.

Phillies fans waited 15 long years for last night's game. They waited while J.D. Drew refused to walk in the door, and Scott Rolen and a lot of others walked out it. They waited while the Bank was built and the Vet was demolished. They waited while the team suffered its 10,000th loss - along the way absorbing nearly as many insults from antagonists about Philly's interminable drought.

You might have seen a star born when lefty David Price, the first pick in last year’s draft, came in with two outs in the eighth inning Sunday, the bases loaded and J.D. Drew at the plate. Price unloaded the entire playbook, throwing sliders, fastballs, and change-ups before striking Drew out on a curveball.

Joe Maddon is my new favorite manager, flat out, hands down, swear to Whitey Herzog. I couldn’t believe it when I was driving home from the Raiders and heard Jon Miller tell me: * Maddon was bringing in Price, the 23-year-old first-year (in PRO BALL) pitcher, to face J.D. Drew with two outs... Continue reading...

Can’t wait to hear the postgame quotes from Tampa manager Joe Maddon after the Rays’ exhilarating 3-1 Game 7 triumph in the ALCS. Clinging to a two-run lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, Boston loaded the bases against a trio of relievers. With Game Five hero JD Drew stepping to the plate, Maddon [...]

J.D. Drew doubles with two out in the fifth, giving him four hits in his last four at bats with a walk mixed in for good measure. The Red Sox can't drive him in, however. Boston still leads 2-1 going...
