Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, September 07, 2008
We know Ortiz likes Scarface, Anaconda, Analyze This, Rambo 3, and Pink Panther, but we don’t know where his power went.
There is the lingering curiosity about what, exactly, is going on with David Ortiz. The Sox designated hitter has not gone deep since August 16. He is now amidst a 19-game streak without a homer, tied for his longest power drought since he came to the Sox in 2003.
During that span, he is hitting .294 with a .442 OBP and .426 slugging mark. Obviously, he is taking his walks (18 of ‘em, to be exact), a development that the Sox welcome in the spirit of their “keep the line moving” offensive philosophy. But Ortiz has not been a game-changing presence.
