Projo SoxTalk with McAdam: J.D. Drew is as hot as the weather
Click the play button below to hear Sean's comments, recorded this morning. The topics: J.D. Drew's hot streak, John McLaren's ill-fated decision to pull Erik Bedard after five innings of work, whether Dustin Pedroia is primed to break out of his slump, and Justin Masterson's continued good work.
Here are some excerpts from Sean's comments:
On Drew: "Drew's numbers historically, or over his career, in the number-three spot have been far better than any other spot in that batting order. He has more power, more homers, more RBIs, higher OPS -- whatever way you want to measure. There's something about the number-three spot that agrees with J.D. Drew."
On Masterson: "It's been a remarkable debut when you think that, before [his first big-league] start, he had not pitched above Double-A, and he has come up and filled in a couple of spot starts, and now that Buchholz and Matsuzaka are both down, he has just stepped in very nicely and given them everything they could hope for and more."
jd drew is my favorite player in baseball. i ve been a fan of his since his days at FSU. right now he is showing what he is capable of doing all the time. even as a big fan of his, i sometimes want to just shake him and kind of light a fire under his ass because he has soooo much talent. you are talking about a 5 tool player who can do it all if he wanted too. he just doesn;t have that drive that someone like kevin youk has. yet youkilis has about 30 percent of the overall talent drew has. it is frustrating for me to see as a fan, but the hoy streak is nice!!!!!!!!!!!1
