Does this mean Ortiz is 'fixen to serve a big plate of eat your words to those (especially you redsox fans) that have completely written him off, not just in fantasy by IRL?

When his OBP cracks .360, let's talk.

.355 as he continues to rake.

I'm still here. Happy to eat some crow and be wrong.

I'm just saying. You said once he hit .360 we could talk. He's practically there. Sit down, you want some coffee?

I cannot believe that he is still on my team. I can't trade him bacause no one wants him.. I can't drop or bench him becasue all he does is rake. again, I can't stand him but I cartainly can't complain too much about riding this thing out..

mixed emotions over here about the whole thin.. if you can't tell

I think he is using a banned substance again. I usually get a little peeved whenever someone accuses a hot-hitting player of being "on the juice", but this is one instance where I really think he is. Just my $0.02 and I don't have any facts to back it up; it just seems to fit and we know from past reports that he apparently has no qualms about using them. Notice he started raking when he was on the verge of losing a substantial amount of playing time. Again, it could be a coincidence but... who knows, this is just speculation

he was at .360 on 6/2 and .361 on 6/3, so he already cracked it and now coming back again -- by the start of June I figured this was not a discussion anymore. he's a waiver wire beast and plenty useful.

.366 now
