Ortiz isn’t going to hit. I think there’s a large enough sample to accept it. Either we live with his bat in exchange for his glove, or we don’t. Right now we are, I suspect by seasons’ end, we won’t.
The real culprits of the offense as I mentioned are Frelick and Yelich. You cannot get this kind of production out of a corner outfielder who was one of our primary leadoff men last year. And you cannot get this kind of production out of a DH only player who is expected to produce in the 3-4 spot every day.
