J.D. Drew’s Back is Still a Problem

Not surprisingly J.D. Drew is in the news again with his reoccurring back problems. Yesterday he went to Boston for an injection:

“The reason we did it was kind of — I want to explain this right — kind of precautionary,” Francona said. “We have some time right now because it’s so early in March, and J.D., through getting looked at by some different people, though this could be a benefit to him. If it worked, we think we thought OK, good. If it didn’t seem to do anything, OK, well it’s March 3 or March 2.

The Red Sox have an injury clause in their contract with Drew so it will be interesting to see how they deal with him if he misses significant time this season.
