I'm not a fan of JD either, no clutch hits...but he is a decent outfielder. Also, one thing to keep in mind is how drastically players can change from year to year. Look at Lowell. In 2005 for the Marlins he batted .236 with 8HRs and 58 RBIs. He is now batting .329 with 18 HRs and 101 RBIs...that's a huge difference. It all depends on the front office's threshold for pain with the media. Look at Renteria...one year...then gone. In 2006 with the Braves he batted .293 and is currently at .336. Go figure. We might have cut JD a little slack if he had a little more personality. I'm thinking (hoping) he is gone after this year.
