Yahoo Sports' best and worst of the offseason

[Chocolate Milk]

Everyone hates JD Drew for some reason.

Both the LA teams signed players to worse contracts than did any other team. Both are CFers and both are medicore at best

 

Sarge Jr.

 

and

 

Juan "Slap Nasty" Pierre.

At least Matthews has some power. That *might* allow him to sustain a little of the OBP improvement he showed last season.

And JD Drew the worst offseason move of all? Huh? What, is this guy on crack?

 

Its not bad even before you consider the fair amount of injury protection in that deal for the red sox.

 

The writer didn't say that the JD Drew signing was the worst because of his production. Based on his description, production did not factor into his analysis.

 

He cited the 'fit' factor for Drew in Boston. I agree with what the writer had to say about Drew and Boston, but I don't agree with the writer's approach (ignoring production) when considering the 'worst offseason moves'.

 

Signing Drew would not have been in my personal top 10 worst, but I do think the writer is correct about how Boston fans will perceive Drew.
