Sean McAdam is Art Martone's guest for today's version of Projo SoxTalk. Click here to listen to the full audio file.
McAdam says that the Red Sox' remarkable double-header sweep shows how they are getting contributions from everyone -- even the Julian Tavarezes and Eric Hinskes on the roster. He's not too concerned about J.D. Drew missing time, and he thinks the indications on Josh Beckett coming back in a couple of weeks are good.
He also sounded off on Jason Giambi's comments in USA Today. Giambi more or less admitted to being a past user of steroids, and said the players and the owners should have apologized to fans long ago for widespread drug use.
Sean says the steroid era will be a dark chapter in the game's history, but he finds Giambi's statements hard to swallow. Here is, in part, what Sean had to say:
"I'm of mixed mind about it. Giambi has nuanced this thing to death ever since his testimony in the Balco case first became public record, issuing that vaguest of apologies a couple of years ago without quite clarifying what it was that he was apologizing about. And it's clear that the reason he was so careful in how he worded things was that he didn't want to have his contract voided, as was being threatened by the Yankees if he had ever used the 's' word, which could have been grounds for termination of his contract. Well, it seems to me that a guy who's so worried about whether his contract is going to be ratified, or invalidated, shouldn't be telling others what they should and should not be apologizing for."
