How many chances does he get?
Either take whatever it was that you used to take, and start producing or get off the pot.
(justin kolpak from CT) | I understand the sentiment and more than just a few Red Sox fans share it with you. Ortiz obviously had a similar slow start last year, and rebounded reasonably well, but there seem to be more red flags this time around. From what I’ve seen, he is swinging through, and fouling off, an awful lot of pitches that he used to absolutely punish. Not just a few, most of them, so the bat speed appears to be waning, waning, waning. Of course, you’re then left with: Who takes his place in the lineup? Mike Lowell might be a better DH option and not just against lefties, but he isn’t exactly in his prime either, and due to age and injury he runs like he has a piano on his back. Orlando Cepeda did a solid, piano-legs-with-a-decent-bat job as the club’s first-ever DH back in the day, and maybe that’s Lowell, without the good nickname? (David Laurila) |
| 2008-01-08 14:00:00 | Has anyone ever come as close as Rice without eventually getting in?
(WCherniak from Woodbine, Md.) | Yes, if you mean getting in on the BBWAA ballot as opposed to the VC one. Nellie Fox got 74.7 percent in his final year, Jim Bunning 74.2, Orlando Cepeda 73.5 and Red Ruffing 72.6. All were eventually selected, Ruffing via a runoff (which happened when the writers came up empty the first time around) and the rest via the VC. (Jay Jaffe) |
