2. And don't even say big papi is more clutch than jeter. Pretty sure one of Jeters nicknames is Mr. November, not Ortiz.
3. Did you really just say "He has 9 HR and 48 RBIs. His OBP is .344. with a .279avg" as a bad thing? LOL those are good numbers with still 2 months left of baseball... Ellsbury is doing pretty damn good so far this year, you're probably just mad he left beantown.
1. My point is he does not have the power he once had. Ortiz also has the luxury of sitting on the bench except when he has to hit the ball. Shorter career as well.
2. Well, if you want to nitpick, they are almost identical if you were to average out their hits, runs scored, etc. David Ortiz just had less appearances but put up similar numbers.
3. That is not very good compared to what he normally does. He normally hits closer to .300.
I couldn't care less that he left. No way is someone with his injury track record worth $153 over 7 years. Was he a very good player? Yes, but he is replaceable. He is the new Shane Victorino IMO.
 
 
		 
 
		 
 
		 
 
		
 
 
		 
	 . Yep they are, but a lot of big time fans around here (aka not me) are worried that this is a sign that Boston will start shirking away from large contracts that can run into the later years of a players career.
