David Ortiz 4-for-43?


Red Sox nation has to be wondering when David Ortiz will return to form. So far this season "Big Papi's" numbers are hard to phathom. He's hitting .070. He's slugging .140. Many questions are beginning to circulate concerning the slow start by Ortiz. Some wonder if his plate problems are related to his surgically repaired knee. I personally wonder if he may be better suited to wear a Tigers uniform. To be sure, something has to give. Manager Terry Francona sat his star against the Yankees in the weekend finale at Fenway after his most recent 1-for-29 slump. Francona remains confident, as do I, that Ortiz will return to form. "Good hitters get to their level," Francona said. "Watching David get to his level is going to be fun." Any thoughts in Beantown?
