I think Ortiz starts the season in the 4 spot.



Note that I said "starts".

Hmmm... for some crazy reason I have it in my mind that any lineup without Martinez in the 3 spot is wrong. No logic behind that whatsoever. Do you ever just look at a lineup and think it's "right"?

It'll be interesting to see how short a leash they have on him. I mean, it's not like he can do anything else besides DH.

It won't be a short leash. Remember last year? Tito will let him battle through any slumps, just like last year.

I think we'll see the Papi of last year, second half.
