Before Daddy3dog and other die-hard Red Sox fans get too excited about the J.D. Drew signing, keep in mind Jerry Crasnick's comments on www.espn.com.

"On paper, this might be the worst union of star and town since Paris Hilton dropped into Altus, Ark., for a reality show paycheck. Drew's roots go back to Hahira, Ga., a one-yellow-caution-light town known primarily for its Honey Bee festival. Very soon, he'll enter a world of short-tempered waitresses, middle fingers at traffic intersections and dissection by radio talk-show caller."

He may not have Manny-type baggage, but he does have baggage. And he doesn't hit like Manny!
