DID you guys read the report on JD Drew.... the one Edes did where prior teammates said he was a slacker... where Edes said that one Dodger teammate made jubilant calls after he opted out... where the book 3 nights in August was quote... and where colletti made a remark about Drew not wanting to play in LA ( for a mear $11mil+ incentives a year)..... That article...
The reason I am asking is did anyone realize that Last month we all heard the speculation about how Manny was faking it.... one of the local pundits actually "claims" to have discussed patellar tendonitis... with a Doctor... then made his entire case for Manny having faked it on the fact that this Dr said that the malady was a two week at most problem...... This latest little ditty by EDES has a couple of paragraphs in it talking about Drew's worst DL visit.... for "PATELLAR TENDONITIS".... and he said that he wasn't right for 2 + years and thathe had to have surgery to get right.... UMM what happened to the TWO WEEK MALADY? Moreso.... Why would we want to hire someone who had this problem before if it is just a "QUITTERS EXCUSE"?
I am just so damned tired of the Boston Media blowing things out of proportion. Now they have Schilling saying that Manny wants out.... WHO CARES?.... he is the best option we have for offense...
I was looking at the "rumored" Manny + Cash for Peavy/Linebrink/Gonzales deal.....
I think the sox coule make this one work... especially if theo was able to send Peavyand others to the rangers for Texieira... I have heard rumors that he is avail (only in the right deal). Would a top pitcher + some prospects.... maybe get a look?
