J.D. Drew: (Shoulder) Should be Ready for Spring Training -  11/23/2009 10:30:22 AM

Update:
Drew is expected to be ready for the start of spring training after undergoing minor shoulder surgery on Thursday, the Boston Globe reports.

Recommendation:
“I got that [cortisone] injection right before the playoffs, which helped a little bit but didn’t help a whole lot,” Drew said. “Then I went into the offseason and the last couple of weeks it’s just been wearing me out. Nagging, achy, and every time I reach across to grab something it was really weak. So I flew into Boston Wednesday to get an MRI to see what was going on.” The Red Sox's opt-out clause on Drew isn't going to be exercised for 2010, so assuming that he's healthy when spring training begins in February, look for him to continue in his role as the team's right fielder in 2010.
