2009 Version of Big Papi

Do we give Big Papi a pass this year for turning into A-Rod in the playoffs? Of course we do.

Hip, knee, wrist -- all injuries that take something out of your natural swing. I'm looking for Ortiz to have a monster year in 2009. He has a great eye at the plate. Plus he will be more comfortable with Youk, Bay & Drew surrounding him.

If not every fan - like my anonymous commentor - has given up on Lugo yet, we certainly can't give up on Big Papi. I think he has several more good years in him. I don't see free agents like Adam Dunn or Ken Griffey, Jr. being a plus on this team.
