I'm finally dropping you. And I have only myself to blame.

"He's hitting 5th in a dynamite lineup!" I rationalized. "He was productive in a pitcher's park in LA! He's not hurt! He'll turn it around this year!"

Nope. He's not hurt, but he still misses games. He sucks. I'm dropping him for a guy named Melky. Goodbye, JD. Enjoy your $70 mil.

Just as an FYI. From Rotoworld.

Scratched from the starting lineup Thursday, J.D. Drew entered the game as a pinch-runner and flied out in his only at-bat.
Drew was away from the team while his 17-month-old son underwent surgery, but could be ready to return to the lineup.

Originally penciled into the Red Sox lineup Thursday, J.D. Drew has been scratched in favor of Eric Hinske.
Drew is healthy, but his 17-month-old son reportedly underwent surgery recently and Drew has been away from the team to be with him.

J.D. Drew is expected to miss a second game Wednesday after his son underwent an unspecified surgery.
If Drew's son has been having health problems this year, it might explain some of J.D.'s struggles. Wily Mo Pena is in the lineup again tonight.
Should Drew need to miss a few more days, the Red Sox could place him on bereavement leave and call up Jacoby Ellsbury.

Damn. I hope his kid is ok. But he's still droppity drop dropped.
