MVP of my heart...
Jimmy, J.D. Drew has been burdened with being a 5-tool player and having one of the sweetest natural lefty swings (since a young Matt Moretti) for his entire life. Wouldn't your discs be a little herniated if you had to carry around that monkey for 30-odd years?
The man single handedly carried the Sox through the dog days of summer last year and in my mind is one of the greatest Red Sox heroes since Saint Douglas Mirabelli. How soon you forget that 2 run home run off K-Rod that destroyed the Angels hopes last October. The only reason he gets on peoples nerves is because he makes things look SO EASY that it appears as if hes not even trying. He glides around the outfield like a rabbit genetically modified and bred with a panther with turbines attached, on ice, shaved, driven by an over-caffeinated fighter pilot, going down a ski jump, under better than ideal conditions.
Plus, in his first season in Boston he had to deal with the distraction of his son almost dying. Yeah Jim, his son almost died. You try having a son and then have that son almost die and then proceed to play 162 games with your head in the game and not on your dying son. Not so easy, is it?
So please, lay off J.D. Drew for the time being, especially since he's white. And everyone knows Boston loves white athletes. J.D. is more than white, hes clear. He makes Kevin Youkilis seem like he could host the Source Awards.
(but yeah you're right... he does get injured all the time)
