Word. Baseball is an athletic competition, not freaking Dungeons & Dragons. Thank you fantasy baseball for making "fans" even more stat-obsessed. By the way, I hear Nancy Drew's vaginal strain is acting up again. Condolences. Doesn't he know that faking an injury after crappy production is Jim Edmonds' thing? Further down the tangent - did anyone else notice that the highlights in Edmonds' hair disappeared when J.D. went to the Dodgers? I think J.D. was Jimmy's hairdresser. Do the math, it checks out...

I'm not sure power is of any consequence in the comparison - or any other tangible stat for that matter. Check out Juan tearing up the basepaths in Tuesday's game, top of the 2nd inning of the StL/FLA matchup (mlb.com has this great service now where you can watch any game or any half inning free by merely clicking on the inning in the box score...it freaking rocks) and you'll see what I mean: MLB Scores 7/17 The specific play I'm talking about happens 5m30s into the inning. Very Drew-esque...
-
Wha? Drew: 6 HR Encarnacion: 7 HR I suppose by "power" you meant "power of Jesus". Though Juan does point at the sky often.

(J.D. Drew - Long Term Contract) x $1/2 = Juan Encarnacion

WHO'S NOW: David Ortiz/Tom Brady

Is JD's quad injury serious?

Just excited enough to necro-bump a topic that had been dead for over a week and proceed to unload another one of your classic idiotic 50-line haikus, apparently. But so long as we're back on-topic... http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070630/capt.4583fc3a86664236a011f336e8eade36.rangers_red_sox_baseball_mack104.jpg J.D. DREW FREAKING SUCKS!!! -

You'd think for the kind of bank J.D. pulls in, he could afford to pay someone to stand at the plate and be inept for him. That would also significantly lower the risk of him straining his vagina on the walks back to the dugout. -

Yeah - I saw the thread and had to post it. Cards fans miss that crazy bastard.

I apologize - I was thinking of Driefort, not DLowe.
-
He may be a solid defender - we'll never know as long as the #*&%^#* DH rule is in effect or when the Sox make the WS next. I just know - as an NL fan - the perception of his defense is mirrored by various misplays we see on sports shows. I want to gripe about a second point, too: the DH also makes a pitcher who actually CAN hit (maybe not a 30/30 guy, but could definitely be a threat) much less of a strategic weapon. As someone who has followed a team with a silver slugger at the pitcher position, it's exciting to know you have that advantage over another team with an offensively inept throwboy on the hill.
-
A thug? No. Could Helen Keller play better defense? Maybe. But a thug - definitely not.
-
With as many things wrong with the DH as have been discussed - the most relevant in my mind is that it's lengthening the career of players that would otherwise be chumps. Old, hired thugs who lack the physical ability to move, defend and react...the results are bloated career numbers and salaries. It's just one of the many ways the DH defecates on the game, it's history and the way it was meant to be played.
-
It's astounding how many dollars the Dodgers lose to injury every year. It always seems the high-priced horses are the ones that end up lame. Kevin Brown, Lowe and now Schmidt. I just hope that now Grady gives Billingsley a shot to prove himself. That guy's got nasty stuff.
-
He broke the rules and that would technically be enough to oust the guy. But it seems that Selig and MLB were ready to make concessions with him and grant him a pseudo-amnesty if he admitted wrongdoing. If anyone deserves a second chance, it's Pete Rose right? What does the guy do? Plays coy and uses the situation as leverage to promote his new book. Screw that guy. I think it's obvious that he doesn't care if he makes the Hall. Why should anyone else?
-
Sorry to go off on a tangent - but seeing as J.D. is a man of faith, I wonder if J.D. is extorting teams for so much money so he can donate it all to local churches? I mean, a man so close to his faith wouldn't have much more need for material things, yes? I apologize...that gripe could be said about plenty of professional athletes. The "faith" thing is just another perk in the gigantic fraud package that is J.D. Drew. No one in baseball ignites such rage in me as that guy...not Carlos Zambrano, not Rickey Henderson, not Howard "cork-in-the-bat" Johnson and the entire Mets' '86 roster. If J.D. Drew and Satan himself were playing catch in foul territory and I had only one battery to throw...my eyes would be squarely locked on #7. I hate J.D. Drew even more than Barry Bonds. ... I'm sorry. That last line was uncalled for...
-
Wait...your avatar says "I did nothing today and still got paid". Are you defending J.D. Drew because you are, in fact, J.D. Drew?
-
It was '04 and I did mean NLDS - sorry for the mix up.
-
Better with RISP? Better than what...his Mendoza-esque .240 average?? OPS is a good stat for the rest of baseball - just not players like Nancy Drew. No team has ever won a playoff series with Drew starting for their team. Teams are good with a great OPS, they're even better once they cut Drew and his crippling salary and malaise off their team. I think you are the first person on earth ever to credit Drew for being passionate. Congrats.
-
OPS when he walks once and injures himself by stubbing his pinkie toe on the way to first: 1.000 OPS is such a meaningless statistic when you talk about J.D. Drew. The only other player I can think of that is in a similar league is Jim Edmonds (speaking of overpaid The most telling "stat" about Nancy Drew's heart and professionalism is the one fantastic moment in the NLCS when he played for the Braves. He struck out late in a tight game (yeah, go figure) and was pouting on the bench. Adam LaRoche (I believe) hit a dramatic home run to win the game, and when Fox cut to a replay shot of the bench - everyone leapt up in celebration at the same time...except J.D., who was too busy pouting to notice that something had happened. Hilarious.
-
Good call. Personally, I'd like to see him not playing at all than being another in a long line of soulless, over-hyped, money-grubbing professional atheletes.
-
I'm going to ignore any pro-Drew argument that uses his career OPS as a reason to legitimize his career. Of course his OPS is going to be great - he is the king of drawing walks, raking in meaningless bloop singles (especially in situations without men in scoring position or when the game is otherwise on the line) and sitting on the couch with mysterious "injuries"...add in his constantly high strikeout totals, and one could conclude that J.D. is great at doing nothing.
