Drew on Colletti
J.D. Drew disagrees with Ned Colletti's assessment of the former Dodgers outfielder:
"The things that disappointed me were some of things Ned said. He called me not a man of my word, a hypocrite, those things," Drew said. "I could have very much understood if I had ever looked him in the eye and told him I would never explore the option in my contract. At the time I talked to Ned, and I still feel this way greatly about LA: I loved playing there, I loved where I lived and would have loved to have stayed if we had come to an agreement. I never once brought up the option to Ned, we never ever talked about the option. He never once said, 'Hey, you've got an option in your contract. Are you happy here?' "
Drew said he would like to have stayed with Los Angeles, but they showed little interest in him once he opted out of his contract.

yeh, he tells ned AFTER he opts out.
sorry, but drew is just playing with words here. he comes off like a greedy deceitful *($&^@#!
seems every time you deal with boras clients you gotta remember the old story about the man and the scorpion....
it sounds like ned and drew had a conversation. drew said that he loved l.a. and ned took that to mean that he wouldn't opt out of the contract. then when drew did opt out, ned felt betrayed and decided not to make an offer.
J.D. Drew is a loser. He's going to get eaten alive by the Boston fan base if he doesn't put up MVP numbers.
as much as the dodgers need a hitter, they are lucky to not be in bed with drew anymore. they'll land someone just as good (if not, better) for less, and they'll get him with some of that pitching. the red sox will most likely regret that signing in a couple years....
"Drew said he would like to have stayed with Los Angeles, but they showed little interest in him once he opted out of his contract."
I could be mistaken, but I'll bet they would have shown more interest if he hadn't opted out of his contract. ;-)
