Baseball Think Factory reports the Red Sox are going hard after Lady Drew and produces this tidbit from the Boston Globe:
His nickname in the Dodger clubhouse, according to one big league coach, was "Nancy Drew," and according to one major leaguer who has played against Drew for much of his career, one Dodger player greeted the news of Drew’s departure by phoning friends in jubilation.
Who knew Jeff Kent had friends? And Tony La Russa, it's not nice of you to make anonymous quotes like that.

Well, those same Sox fans are going to love Nancy Drew's OPS that he'll put up at Fenway. He'll be perfect in Boston where he'll be a major upgrade over Trot Nixon/Wily Mo Pena in RF and can bat after Manny and Papi. . .
I'd be remiss not to mention that Drew's agent is Scott Boras. You know, the same agent as Matsuzaka? Hmmmmmm.
If Drew stays healthy. Is Terry Francona willing to coddle him like Grady did?
More anecdotal evidence that Scott Boras controls everything, from Dodger Thoughts poster "rockmrete": "a guest this AM on 570 said JD Drew told him it was a surprise to him that he had signed with the Dodgers, the implication being that he did not have control of his own fate." Wow.
