Talk:J. D. Drew

Error regarding JD Drew's Brothers

JD Drew is not brothers with Bryce Drew. He is brothers with Stephen Drew.108.53.202.79 (talk) 02:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Neutral POV

Under the public image section, it says he permanently changed his image. I think that sounds too triumphant, like he did an amazing job and now pwns life. What do you think? Yesitsnot (talk) 18:58, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Tony LaRussa Book

I heard a reference on TV that Tony LaRussa had skewered the guy in his book. Is anyone familiar with this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.65.153.110 (talk) 23:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

You're probably thinking about Buzz Bissinger's Three Nights in August. I've heard the same thing but haven't read the book. I'll check it out. Stilgar135 18:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Addendum: A quick look at the index on Amazon shows that "Drew, J.D. indifference of" is mentioned on 5 different pages. Stilgar135 18:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know....

Added a photo off JD Drew's roster page http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=136770

Tell me if I did something wrong. --HPJoker 19:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, problem is solved. --HPJoker 00:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

"We think J.D. has a chance to be very special in Boston," Boras said. "The left field wall is something we think he can utilize a lot and be very productive there. Being a component on a team that has two great sluggers like that, I think he has a chance to really have a fine career there.

"You look at what J.D. has done in these last three years. Other than getting hit on the wrist by a ball, this guy has put up numbers. He's an above-average defender. He's a guy that can steal 20-30 bases. He has a very fine throwing arm. He has 25-30 home run power.

"And in Fenway, with the ability for him to go to left field, because he has the ability to spray the ball around, I think it's really going to increase his average and put him in a position playerwise where he has a chance to be a very potent offensive threat."

JD/David Jonathan?

Does anyone know why he's called J D and not D J? Seems notable enough to include in the article if a source can be found. 162.136.192.1 (talk) 17:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Updated

The 2008 section didn't include his final statistics so I added them. I also rephrased some parts that sounded a little bit "fandom"y. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.199.210 (talk) 00:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Did he retire?

It says Drew retired at the end of the 2011 season in the article. Though he probably isn't coming back, I don't believe he ever officially announced retirement. Should that be taken out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.8.117.34 (talk) 19:22, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
