After a couple of dingers last week Big Papi has slumped again in his last 13 at bats with just one hit. What does it mean? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Historically, take a look at who's hot & who's not during Spring Training & it has little to no connection to what translates into the regular season. Teams like the Kansas City Royals can win a bunch of pre-season games & still end up in last place. I remember J.D. Drew hitting up a storm his first year in Fort Myers & not doing much during the regular season. The carryover just isn't there.
Ortiz will get his real test in April & May. I'd hold off judgment until then. He's healthy. He's in shape. He's swinging without pain. And he's in a contract year. Let's see what number 34 can do when the games count.
