  1. This is all about Francona's wanting to keep Ortiz in the three hole...where he'll be happy. It's all about keeping Ortiz happy.

    Drew has the second-most homerun's on the club, so where does he bat?

    Leadoff!!

    Meanwhile, the red-hot Pedroia gets bumped down to the two hole.

    Incredible. And people wonder why we lose so many road games?

    Instead of trying to win popularity contests, Francona, try to win BALLGAMES!!

  1. Drew also has an OBP of 403!! Also very patient hitter for Elsbury to run in front of.
