Projo SoxTalk with McAdam: J.D. is as hot as the weather

Click the play button below to hear Sean's comments, recorded this morning. The topics: J.D. Drew's hot streak, John McLaren's ill-fated decision to pull Erik Bedard after five innings of work, whether Dustin Pedroia is primed to break out of his slump, and Justin Masterson's continued good work.

Here are some excerpts from Sean's comments:

On Drew: "Drew's numbers historically, or over his career, in the number-three spot have been far better than any other spot in that batting order. He has more power, more homers, more RBIs, higher OPS -- whatever way you want to measure. There's something about the number-three spot that agrees with J.D. Drew."

On Masterson: "It's been a remarkable debut when you think that, before [his first big-league] start, he had not pitched above Double-A, and he has come up and filled in a couple of spot starts, and now that Buchholz and Matsuzaka are both down, he has just stepped in very nicely and given them everything they could hope for and more."
