(Whoever said that obviously didn't know what the hell they were talking about.) <br /><br />The point is that he does his job and does it well. It's so stupid for people to be harping on his personality, anyway. JD is one of those guys who comes to the park, quietly plays the game (quite often well), and then goes home or whatever. I, for one, don't give a damn if he isn't all "rah-rah" like others. Different people have different personalities. I'd rather have a cool-headed, not to mention talented, guy like JD on "my" team than some asshat who, although he's animated, does nothing to benefit said team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134485902517221913.post-58862948421652275442010-04-07T01:32:37.594-04:002010-04-07T01:32:37.594-04:00Well said.

Unfortunately for Drew, he's playing with some very interesting characters which contrast with his cool, level-headed demeaner as the person before me so accurately described. I do think that he's being paid too much, but in his defense, if the Red Sox offered me that kind of money there's no way I'd turn them down.Conornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134485902517221913.post-57295539626063495892010-04-07T00:57:01.646-04:002010-04-07T00:57:01.646-04:00I am so fed up with the negative comments about JD...I am so fed up with the negative comments about JD. It's not that he hates baseball, it's that the fans hate him because the salaries don't seem right. Right now I'm not thrilled with David Ortiz. I feel he's stealing his salary but the fact is I feel that people don't like JD because he's not animated. The fact is if he was the guy who got pissed at every bad play, got angry after a loss or got ejected people would harp on that. JD Drew's coolness is one of the reasons I like him. He's level-headed. Now JD's talking retirement and mark my words,the people who are yakking that he's not passionate, that he's not a guy who goes sliding around wrecklessly and doesn't yell or swear during games are going to miss him when he does depart from the team. It's just a really tragedy that they don't appreciate him now!Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216492263637862465noreply@blogger.com
