JD Boo

Well, heck — now we need another bat this off season: JD Drew has decided to opt out of the rest of his contract with the Dodgers! What a surprise, although considering who his agent is, maybe not much of one.

Does that make Alfonso Soriano even more of a target? Will the Gary Matthews Jr or Luis Gonzalez rumors come true now? Do we entrust the outfield to Ethier, Kemp, and…somebody?

Well, I guess I asked for it the other day when I said I couldn’t wait till things got started for real. :)

AP Story: “J.D. Drew opts out of contract”

“He led the club in RBIs. You just don’t snap your fingers and find another player like that,” Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said on a conference call. “He wants out, he can have out. He’s moving on, we’re moving on. We’ll find players who like playing here. If he doesn’t want to be here, he has the right to leave, and he’s exercising that right.”
