That's how most fans feel when you ask about J.D. Drew - another year. Drew enters the 4th year of a 5-year deal feeling better about his physical condition. He had off-season shoulder surgery which removed a lot of pain he played through in 2009.
Drew is an asset on the field, both offensively & defensively. Problem is keeping him on the field. Tito regularly gives him days off for his back, days off against lefties sprinkled in with a few trips to the DL. Drew has been a better performer in the playoffs than the regular season.
The trick in 2010, as in the past, will be keeping him on the field. Drew has never lived up to the expectations associated with the big contract that he signed. Maybe 2010 is the year Drew can be a bigger contributor on offense. We need him to be.
