Ortiz says he would like to come back to the Red Sox, and I don't have a problem with it if he does. Ortiz knows the deal, he's a DH and the Red Sox are really the only ones that would give him the amount that would be in his ballpark, I don't think the Yankees would, so as much as he pretends not to need the Sox, he needs them as much as they need him.
I see two options with David, the 1st is re-sign him to a short term 2 year with a 3 year option for about 7 million a year or let him go and start Wil Middlebrooks. I know the Captain was pessimistic about assuming triple AAA players can transition to the minors, but from everything I'm reading he's ready to go. Why not roll the dice with him? If he works out fine, if not, fuck it trade for someone or get someone the following offseason.
I don't believe the Red Sox will be in the Albert Pujols/ Prince Fielder sweepstakes so we can let go of that dream.
But sure, if Ortiz wants to come back, why not, he has good production and seemed to do well batting after AGon.
