Walking away from 33 mill over the next 3 years, just go done with a .283/20/100 season, is that really worth giving up that much money? The only reason this makes sense if he were an older player needing a longer term deal, is he really worth another 55 mill over another 5? I know the market is light, but come on!
P.S. I know it is Boras, bad joke |

I hope this means the Dodgers bring back Nomar. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

JD Drew is great offensively when he's healthy. But he's had, what, one season where he didn't go on the DL. Probably a mistake, although I also would be hesitant to bet against Boras. $33M is a lot of money for Drew IMO. |

Take it from a Cardinals fan... the guy is a cancer and him opting out, is a good thing. |

Dodger got a good break here, Drew is not worth 11 a year.
Now they have extra cash to get Soriano, Zito, Schmidt, or A. Ramirez. |

With the kind of money the doyers were paying him, I expected 30-40 hrs. with about 130 rbi, 300+ avg and a cure for AIDS. Im glad Nancy Drew is gone. Gives us an opportunity to find a nice free agent power hitter like vlad or alfonso soriano. _________________ Thank you, Kobe. We love you. |

Definitely glad to see him opt out, I've never liked him to begin with and it definitely frees up payroll. |

The sad thing is... Drew has the talent to be All-World. The dude could have gone down as one of the greatest to play the game.
Too bad he's such a bonehead. |

In any case, the Dodgers have money freed to go after another player. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

Boras is a puppet. I pull the strings.
