odds and ends - 12/27/06 Drew talks drag on

Isn't getting pretty obvious that this is not a minor snag? I really am beginning to wonder if the Red Sox were not tipped off by somebody (The Dodgers?) about a medical issue and then signed him anyway knowing he would flunk the physical but in the meantime make Boras happy as they started to talk about Daisuke Matsuzaka's contract. The only winner in this so far is Dodgers GM Ned Colletti who is off the hook for $33 Million.

Nick Carfardo writes on Wednesday - Both sides on the J.D. Drew matter would like to get the contract done this week. But right now it's still in the "easier said than done" stage.

Dan Shaugnessey talks about who he voted for the Hall of Fame.

really is hard to comment when nothing is going on
