J.D. Drew rewards Francona early »
May 15, 2007
JD Drew is 8 for his last 57 (.140) and has looked poor at the plate in the last few games. But he's still batting fifth behind David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. The Sox are hoping he's close to breaking out any day now.
``It's probably nothing different than the normal combination that we always talk about,'' said Francona. ``It seems like we go through cycles where every call seems to go against him. And he's not been consistent with hsi swing. That combination adds up to going through a couple tough weeks.''
Francona says Drew isn't showing any signs of his struggles.
``Never. You can't tell,'' he said. ``He's not a helmet thrower. he goes and sits in the same spot on the bench regardless of whether he gets a hit or not.''
