Drew's Warrantee Expires
The latest of DePo's flawed players has come down injured, and bizarrely enough, in the way you might have thought he would: J.D. Drew's surgically repaired knees have flared up, and he's listed day-to-day.
An outfielder with a history of knee problems, Drew, who signed a $55 million contract over the winter, had an MRI on his left knee Wednesday, and the diagnosis was chondromalacia, a chipping of cartilage on the underside of the kneecap that prevents the knee from sliding smoothly over the lower part of the thigh bone.Anybody wondering why I like the DH needs look no farther than this injury.As bad as it sounds, trainer Stan Johnston said Drew is considered day-to-day. He was not in the lineup Wednesday night and figures to take a couple days off to reduce the inflammation.
...
Coincidentally or not, Drew's knee began acting up right around the time he took over center field for the injured Milton Bradley. Ironically, when he joined the club, Drew said he'd prefer to play center field because it put less stress on his repaired knee than right field.
