Replacing Papi

The front office, manager and, most notably, the fans have been very patient with one David Ortiz. At .197/.288/.308 with no position and no speed, he may be the least valuable every day player in the American League at this point. The recent 6-game hitting streak is cute and all (and I totally understand the concept of baby steps with this terrible situation), but looking further you’ll see the shortest home run conceived in baseball history and five of those six games featuring 1-for-4 or 1-for-5 performances. To say David Ortiz is heating up is grasping for straws at this point.

Josh Beckett pitched six scoreless innings and David Ortiz extended his hitting streak to seven games to stay undefeated against the New York Yankees this season.
