i am a baseball tradionalist and I love numbers :) I am glad we are having baseball talk after the world series. Reponse to #1 ? David Ortiz Yeah, Ortiz had a monster year. This year, he is feared as the long ball hitter. If he does the same thing next few years, he would be regarded as great DH. One Year Wonder??? I dunno......But I don't know about him stelaing the base, have you found out if coach signaled him or not. I doubt it. If you really think DH should be stealing a base, name me a player who stole the base this year. Now don't be trying to ref the game sitting home and watching in tele. I will leave that to umpires. You, I and other baseball fans agree that they have done superb job this year. Ortiz and 1st base??? Dude, tell me one thing if that dude was great 1st baseman why wasn?t he playing that position??? If he is really great may be you need to find left fielder ;) Manny would love to move to 1st base :p Minnesota could not recognize Otizs' potential. Is there any team who have not traded/released players and who did great job as Ortiz is doing with Red Sox??? Give me a team name and I will provide with you players name. I agree Red Sox did a great job getting Ortiz.
