| 3rd November, 2009 - 1:01 pm | Boston Herald - David Ortiz hopes to finish his career with the Red Sox, even though they have already begun to think about getting more production out of the DH slot in the lineup.
“I want to finish my career here,” he said. “I think I still have another three or four good years in me. It’s not like I’m going to play until I’m 50, but I know I can still swing the bat. All I know is last year I had the worst two months of my career and still almost ended up at 30 and 100.”
The Red Sox want Ortiz to arrive at Spring Training in excellent physical shape, something that should be easier for him since he had wrist surgery last winter.
“That’s the only difference,” he said. “I’m going to start hitting sooner. Last year I couldn’t swing until the end of January. But I’m fine. I’m going to do what I always do. I’m going to work out and hit in the Dominican (Republic) and get physically strong.
“Just leave it up to Big Papi. We’ll be fine.” [READ] |
