When J.D. Drew signed with the Dodgers, all anyone wanted to talk about was that Jeff Boras had insisted on an escape clause after the second year was an example of him looking to make out big in case he had another big season. Drew said if he uses that clause, it won't be to seek an even bigger contract following a solid season. It was included only as a hedge in case he and his wife didn't care for life in Los Angeles. "Basically, we were concerned a little bit about coming this far from home," Drew said. "We had heard the stories about the traffic and all that. So I talked to Scott, and he put that in so we wouldn't have to be unhappy here for five years. But we love where we're at in Pasadena, because it's so close to the ballpark. "This has been a great fit for us so far."
