Dodger History. LA even had to restructure his multi-year contract thru Scott Boras to be able to re-sign ManRam and we still owe Jones $3.375M.He basically has a lifetime annuity courtesy of Frank McCourt, don't knoq how that was handled in the sale to Guggenheim. In Druw's one year in LA, in 209 ABs he put up a slash of .158/3/14.256 OBP/.249 SLG. Also of note is that in 209 ABs he whhifffed 76 times. That's a little more than once evry 3 AB's he was going to strike out.<br /><br />Worse yet for LA Fans, if it's possible to make it worse, almost every time he K'd he would walk away from the the plate with a smart-ass smirk on his face. That really raised the hackles of the Fans and cemented his position as as MHP. This all occurred during the McCourt era and Frank negotiated this deal with Boras, showing somebody could do worse than Coletti. It's a shame that a class organization and fan-base like the Yankees had to revisit this experience, but thankfully it's only for a year. Druw hasn't really had a Jones-like season since 2007, almost like he's jonesing from success. PEDs? It sure i suspicious timing.Gary Bealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753960686634484323noreply@blogger.com
