Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Can someone with BoSox intelligence tell me ...

why J D Drew is having such a suckfest of a season for arguably the best team in the league? He's never been THIS bad, has he? I remember Renteria getting booed for hitting .280 at the top of the order at Fenway. What's the reaction been for a middle-of-the-order, high-paid slugger who can't hit for average OR power.

Yeah, I know, injuries injuries. But there's gotta be more to the story.

Don't know...
he's been a black hole on my fantasy team though...I can't get rid of him because with his track record, that park, that team he should be putting up big numbers.
Pitch to swing and misses...not contact. I've never heard of a "seeing eye K"

Drew
While everyone round Mass seems frustrated with Drew, it seems like it hasn't gotten that bad yet. Think it has to do with people being overly content with team performance

Drew has a history of shoulder problems...
...in fact it almost nixed the deal in the winter. Kinda reminds me of Rolen this year - no power...punch and judy singles hitter.

Maybe he could use a cortisone shot too?

I think
it has more to do with his back possibly still flaring up and a change in his swing. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was Hardball Times that compared his old swing with his new one and how much it resembles his brother (Stephen, another guy not hitting as well as expected). This is all just speculation on my part, but as I get to see him regularly living in CT, these are just a few things I've noticed.

Hope this helped somewhat.
