Meet the 2008 Boston Red Sox

J.D. Drew, RF Fast fact: Batted .321 against lefthanders at Fenway Park, .143 against lefthanders on the road. Lowdown: Eleven home runs -- and a batting average that he managed to raise to .270 -- is generally unacceptable for a player with a $70 million contract. Drew's grand slam in Game 6 of the ALCS against Cleveland was the biggest hit for any player all season, a measure of redemption in a year generally far below expectations (other than defense) for the free agent signee.
