Scott Boras to Colletti: You should've signed J.D. Drew

In the eighth inning, newly acquired Dodgers center fielder Juan Pierre drops a deep fly to right center. A run scores, then another, putting the Giants up 5-3. “Well, well, well,” says Boras, cackling and looking over at Stillwell, enjoying a moment of what might be considered payback. “J.D. Drew would’ve caught that ball,” he says confidently, leaving no doubt that he has not forgotten the off-season controversy. “You just don’t let Greg Maddux leave your building, and you sign J.D. Drew,” he says.

If Boras wants to give Colletti shit for signing Maddux instead of Schmidt, fine. Of course, it doesn't help that all Boras demands 10+ mil salaries for virtually all his clients.

But the Dodgers were supposed to sign J.D. Drew? Of course Boras doesn't mention that J.D. Drew was under contract for three more years for $33 million, but he opted out of his contract.

J.D. Drew has a sub-700 OPS, is making 15 million dollars, and pulled up at the OF Wall tonight for no real reason...is Boras on crack?

I'm honestly stunned that Sox fans aren't calling for WMP to take ABs away from Drew or Coco right now.
