Matsuzaka was the Most Valuable Player of the inaugural Classic

Source (mlb.com) (DH - bos) | 0 comments.

Matsuzaka was the Most Valuable Player of the inaugural Classic in 2006, leading Japan to the championship. Big Papi appears to be over the left wrist woes that plagued him last year. "He's healthy and he'd like to have some Ortiz-esque numbers," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "That's welcome for us." Lefty Hideki Okajima, third baseman Mike Lowell and catcher George Kottaras are Boston players who were on provisional rosters released in January, but they won't be participating in the tournament. Lowell, who would have played for Puerto Rico, will instead focus on rehabbing from right hip surgery.

David Ortiz says he worked out with controversial trainer Angel

Source (CBSSports.com) (DH - bos) | 0 comments.

News: David Ortiz says he worked out with controversial trainer Angel Presinal in the Dominican Republic, but the Red Sox slugger never saw anyone use performance-enhancing drugs there. "All I know is that we all worked with him as a group of guys that wanted to be ready in spring training and that's about it," Ortiz said. "He's one of the guys that trained everybody." Ortiz said the facility is not owned by Presinal and he's not worried his name will be linked with others accused of steroid use. He urged major leaguers to be cautious in their relationships. "You are the owner of your own decisions," he said. "It's sad that's he's involved in things like this but you have to be careful." Presinal has been barred from major league clubhouses. The Daily News in New York reported Friday that Presinal was the trainer who worked directly with Alex Rodriguez during the time the Yankees superstar admitted to using banned drugs. [...]

After missing a couple of days due to a sore left shoulder, David Ortiz returned to the field on Saturday, according to the Boston Globe. He took batting practice and caught some balls at first base.The DH should be healthy come the regular season, but there's always a chance that the shoulder nags him for a longer period of time. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious. Regardless, Ortiz's power numbers have been fading for the past couple of seasons, so take that into account if you're considering him at the draft table.

David Ortiz sat out of camp Thursday due to sleeping on his shoulder the wrong way, according to the Boston Globe. Skipper Terry Francona said, "I think he could have been out here yesterday. He is a designated hitter. He does not have a whole lot to do with our pickoffs and things like that. I do not think on Feb. 19 it is real pivotal. I thought he could get more out of staying inside."He is expected to return to camp today, and should be fine. He should be the first DH taken off the board in fantasy drafts for 2009.

ESPN.com reports that David Ortiz is in favor of harsher steroid

Source (fanball.com) (DH - bos) | 0 comments.

ESPN.com reports that David Ortiz is in favor of harsher steroid testing policies and suspensions. The slugger says that the testing should not be a random selection of players, but that every player should get tested multiple times throughout the season. He also feels that violators should miss an entire season for a first-time offense as opposed to a 50-game suspension.From 1997 to 2002, Ortiz hit one home run per 25.5 at-bats. From 2003-2006, he managed a home run for every 12.7 at-bats. In the two seasons since, a dinger has come every 16.6 at-bats. The 33-year-old hopes to prove that his wrist injury from 2008 will not linger this season, but there is certainly a lot of risk tied to him. That, and his power surge from 2003-2006 appears to be a thing of the past.

News: Red Sox DH David Ortiz is trimmer and appears more muscular this spring training than he was last season. He said Monday his left wrist feels fine after a torn tendon sheath sent him to the disabled list twice last year and limited him to 23 homers, 89 RBI and a .264 batting average, all personal lows in his first six seasons with Boston. "Sometimes I listen to comments and it just does nothing but make me stronger," he said. "I heard people say, 'He's getting old.' Whatever. I just turned 33, so I've never seen a player being called old at 33." [...]
