David Ortiz, we hardly knew ye!

Well, the great promise of a power hitter that was David Ortiz set sail for better seas today as the Twins released him to make room for some Class A SS that no one has heard of (that’s another story). Anyone who saw David Ortiz uncork a shot to the upper deck knew that the […]
