MLB's least productive batter is...
Statistically speaking, David Ortiz is the least productive batter in all of major league baseball, at least among those who actually have a pulse, or who don't play for the Tigers. No, seriously, folks. Papi is looking up at everyone. He is hitting worse than all those slick-fielding shortstops who ought to be hitting 10th. He is hitting worse than all those anonymous backup catchers, the ones who get an extra-base hit every third week or so and who get around the bases as if carrying the entire Kentucky Derby field on their backs. He's hitting .070. He's slugging .140. He's a complete and utter mess.

Maybe it's because someone next door has his lucky jersey and they're holding it proudly in the air.

Copperstown is not nearly as prestigious or as cool as Silver city or Goldville.

Yeah, Detroit does have a tendency to flop worse than Boston. Like in the superbowl this past year. Wow was that embarassing. Or maybe the almost century long MLB championship drought. Good thing theyve made the NBA playoffs a every year straight for the past decade...

As a lifelong Yankee fanm there is nothing I like better than Ortiz not playing, but the law of averages tells me that if he is slumping now, it will only mean tat he comes on stronger for the rest of the season. The man is a hitting machine, especially against us.
