The 2d segment was very good indeed. It was right on the money. He is an egotist at the money level and he thinks he can do it and he wants to know now. Not likely!
So, does he stew the rest of the way? The Sox might not want to go through that and finally give him what he wants . . . whatever that is . . . probably even more money. In which case I’d tell him to look around. He’d go high and he deserves it, but he would be better advised to forget the money and go for family.
He’s acting like a child. He’s fair game. Bust his balls, maybe wake him up.

Ortiz-easy does it... Big Papi is having another amazing start to a baseball season, two years in a row now. He is defying convention and expectation. Assuming that he’s clean, could it be that the secret to his success is a one-year contract? He wouldn’t like to admit it, and he has complained loudly about not getting a guaranteed multiyear deal, but he is producing and maybe the pressure and uncertainty is driving him? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! At this point in his career, why not? Ortiz has made over $80 million, he’s got two rings, and David is still the face of the franchise. Maybe each year is precious at the end, and what we’re seeing is a better way for players to go out. (0)
