Forum Post: Say what you want, but SOFTY is SPOT ON about JACOBY ELLSBURY .........
The Darrin Erstad question is fair game. If you dig into the numbers there is reason for optimism but more pessimism. For the optimists: career babip .319 (2013 .282) So if his BA goes up 40 po more »

Forum Post: Werner calls out media, Globe, Shaughnessy for Ortiz column
If Ortiz is clean -- and I believe he is -- he needs to be mad at guys like Bonds and McGwire and their ilk and Donald Fehr. They created this world, not the media. Ortiz is paid incredibly well, with more »
