Nomar is smiling too. The Dodgers just lost 100 RBIs from our offense. On top of that, we've now gotta find a new three-syllable player for them to go with their nifty three-beat chant (also formerly inhabited by Hee-Seop Choi).
It is nice to read the articles and see that Colletti is also pissed off about Drew's (er, Boras') "surprising" move. I share Ned's disappointment and mild anger on this one. We sat through a year of JD Drew as a toothpick, got a decent year this year, and a bunch of assurances that he was happy as a Dodger. Yeah, right.
I hope Drew tests the market, finds nothing, and then comes back to the Dodgers for less than his current $11M/year price. After holding out his rookie year and demanded $10M/year, he returned the following year by signing a $7M/year deal with the Cards. Let's hope history repeats itself.
Now use the money to go after Soriano - 20 more homeruns, youth, speed on the basepads and wont break down.
