"He looks good. He's following through with a really good start to his offseason," said general manager Theo Epstein. He's lost some weight and he's in really good shape, so that's a good sign." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/650143 650143 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:20:02 EDT kffl.com 1 days 9 hours 33 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/650143 David Ortiz is working hard on his fitness level this offseason in the hopes of avoiding another slow start.

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein does not see Matsui as an everyday outfielder. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/636025 636025 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:00:09 EDT kffl.com 8 days 17 hours 53 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/636025 I’m in depths of a silent Yankee Stadium, standing by the hole where they dug up that David Ortiz “curse jersey” from out of the cement in April 2008, only 35 steps from the visiting clubhouse.

Ortiz has been working out at Fenway Park just about every day this offseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/621743 621743 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:40:02 EDT kffl.com 15 days 21 hours 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/621743 SportingNews.com reports Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz said he wants to finish his career with the team, according to The Boston Globe. "I want to finish my career here," Ortiz said. "I think I still have another three or four good years in me." He also said his injured wrist is completely healthy, and he plans on starting to swing earlier this offseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618586 618586 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:08:02 EDT kffl.com 17 days 16 hours 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618586 David Ortiz claimed on Tuesday to have "another three or four good years in me," according to the Boston Herald.

Our View: He will be in the final year of four-year contract next season, and looking for a new deal at the age of 35. He has said he wants to end his career in Boston. Looking at his .238 average from last season, he may have already. It's impossible to believe he will have another 28 homer, 99 RBI campaign in 2010 if he doesn't get his average back near his career level of .282. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618328 618328 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:28:01 EDT fanball.com 17 days 19 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618328 The Boston Herald's John Tomase reports Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz is entering the final year of his contract and said he wants to finish his career with the team. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618133 618133 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:08:01 EDT kffl.com 17 days 21 hours 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/618133 The Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz plans to work on his conditioning this offseason. He's considering spending time at Athletes' Performance in Tempe, Ariz., in the offseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/591570 591570 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:36:02 EDT kffl.com 32 days 22 hours 17 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/591570 After a glacial first two months -- during which he batted .185 with one jack and 18 RBIs -- Ortiz reverted back to being one of the more feared sluggers in the AL. He ranked at or near the top of the league in both homers and RBIs over the last four months, which helped him salvage quality numbers in the power categories. With that said, Big Papi’s days as a blue-chip basher are in the past, as he will turn 34 in November. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/591217 591217 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 3:04:12 EDT mlb.com 33 days 5 hours 49 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/591217 In an effort to stave off another epic, season-beginning slump, David Ortiz has pledged to get into better shape this offseason, according to the Boston Herald.

Our View: He is going to spend a good chunk of his offseason at Athletes' Performance in Tempe, Arizona. It could enhance his early season performance in 2010, but maybe not as much as some of his past methods. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/589864 589864 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:48:01 EDT fanball.com 33 days 17 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/589864 David Ortiz finished the ALDS 1-for-12 with four strikeouts as the Red Sox got swept by the Angels.

Our View: After a wretched start to the season, Ortiz got things going in the second half to put up somewhat respectable numbers. However, he was awful in the postseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/578126 578126 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:08:01 EDT fanball.com 40 days 13 hours 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/David_Ortiz/578126 David Ortiz managed his first hit of the ALDS in his final at-bat Sunday to finish the series 1-for-12. Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay and Ortiz combined for three hits while making up the fourth-through-sixth spots in the lineup in the series.
