The sentiment was almost universal, making the lack of recognition for Cameron’s talents all the more puzzling. Cameron was not underrated for the same reasons that turned fans away from his former teammate and fellow retiree J.D. Drew. He was never...

“I’m sure I will in about two weeks.” Probably not. Valentine has an unusual number of decisions to make for a team with high expectations. There are jobs to be won at shortstop, after the trade of Marco Scutaro; in right field, after J. D. Drew was...

Boston also picked up Melancon from Houston. He could fill the setup role that would be vacant if Daniel Bard makes the transition to starter. Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz return to the rotation, which still has several candidates for the...

The 2nd place players in each category will fall into this group, with the fans voting for the top 5… So as not to be all over the place, there are predetermined selections in each category, which is fine, but the one that jumps out at me and slaps me...

Tony Medina/Getty Images When J.D. Drew's contract expired at the conclusion of last season most Red Sox fans probably muttered "good riddance" to themselves. Drew was looked upon as a free agent "bust" over the course of his five years in Boston. That...
-
For a player whose career began under the shadow of intense contract negotiations, this only seemed to make things worse, as many have considered Drew to be radically overpaid throughout his career. But here’s the thing: for all the hubbub surrounding...

Red Sox ♦ Manager: Bobby Valentine (first season).

Wright started the bottom of the inning by getting Kevin Youkilis to fly out to the warning track in right, an ominous sign. David Ortiz then lined out to left for the second out. That’s when it happened. 2-1 pitch to Manny Ramirez: homer to to...

Matsuzaka and Buchholz were on the disabled list. John Lackey, who we now know was playing injured, probably should have been on the disabled list. Tim Wakefield continued his quest for Win #200 and kept failing. Andrew Miller had two starts, including...
-
Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez as their big three receivers. However, Gronk is limited and Welker has been "contained" by elite defenses. Who will step up as a big time receiver on the Patriots roster? Will Chad Ochocinco have the best game of his...

Standing at 6’4”, 235 lbs, there’s no mistaking who Pat Burrell was in the clubhouse. He arrived as the number one overall pick in 1998 out of Miami. It was just one year removed from the J.D. Drew debacle, where Drew painfully turned down the Phillies...

■When he was relaxing in his dorm room in the Coolidge Hall high-rise tower at UMass, bet Victor Cruz never thought Madonna would be talking about his dance moves days before the Super Bowl. ■Remember J.D. Drew’s season-saving grand slam in the ’07...

Red Sox have hit a wall in right field. They let J.D. Drew walk (which was the right move) and then traded away Josh Reddick for Andrew Bailey to ensure that Boston had a closer in 2012. So Ryan Kalish was next in line, right? Well Kalish got surgery...
-
Youk. Our newest scribe, Brendan O’Toole, is picking Papi for this one. While I think Ortiz showed a tremendous eye for the ball with his improved contact, he takes second for me, behind Dustin Pedroia. Pedroia owns the strike zone like no one else. ...

Photo: AP is set to announce his retirement today according to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors. Burrell, also known as Pat the Bat and the Machine, was a beacon of hope for a floundering franchise scorned by JD Drew’s famous refusal to sign. Burrell...

Lynn only reached the 150-game plateau once and the 140-game one three-times. The sad part is that some of Lynn's injuries came from him playing so hard, as he once broke a rib crashing into an outfield wall and often hurt his knee breaking up double...

Ellsbury, who had already homered earlier in the game, hit a three-run homer to win the game in 14 innings. Red Sox win, 7-4. June 4: After blowing a 7-3 lead to the Oakland A's in the ninth inning, the Red Sox win off a single by JD Drew to left field...
-
Ellsbury will be a free agent after the 2013 season. Last year, Ellsbury batted .321 with 32 home runs, 105 RBI, 39 stolen bases and 119 runs. How much will Boras demand for Ellsbury, who will be 30 when he is a free agent? CODY ROSS took J.D. Drew's...
-
At the time, the deal was largely panned, with critics saying that Boras completely hoodwinked the Red Sox, and proponents lauding Drew's ability to "get on base." While there is no question that GM Theo Epstein and Sox management valued on-base...
-
Buckets! After so many years of stone-faced JD Drew, can I just tell you how nice it will be to have a passionate player manning right field? Yay! But can I just tell you how incredibly stupid I think it was for the Sox to trade Marco Scutaro, who would...
