Hamstring Gate

I just recently took the under in Vegas on JD Drew’s total number of games played this upcoming season. At under 120 starts in right field I think I have a very good chance of cashing in on JD’s hamstring malaise. JD arrived in Camp Feel Good in Fort Myers this past week and immediately told everyone within earshot that he “felt bad” because his chronic hamstring problem is lingering. WTF - he had the whole off-season to address this and shows up in FLA and drops this bomb on Red Sox Nation.

My strategic hammy thinking goes like this: JD has always been hurting or on the verge of hurting and has the lowest pain tolerance in professional sports, he turns 35 soon, this is the final season in a 5 year $70million deal and is looking forward to retiring, he probably won’t bat any higher than 7^th, he is coming off career worsts of BA .255, OBP .341 – 46 points below career average AND he only hit .205 against lefties! Therefore, he will not see many/any left handed pitchers and with Mike Cameron, Darnell McDonald, Ryan Kalish and Josh Reddick in the wings this looks like a LOCK!

Ouuuuuch!
