Drew on His Shoulder
Here's what J.D. Drew said about his shoulder yesterday:
"Extremely confident," the 31-year-old said about his shoulder during a teleconference yesterday. "The thing that was really beneficial was to see where it was at the end of last season [with the Dodgers], to see the swing and everything kind of come back around as far as the strength and power numbers go. Those were telltale signs for me. This offseason's been a great chance for me to catch up on the strength gains and get a lot of work in."
This seems to confirm the thoughts that he did go through a weak period in the middle of the season in 2006 as he recovered from labrum surgery.
