[edit] 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)

"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."
