Big Papi

[Troll Daddy]

What's his story? He'll be forty next year. Guy doesn't seem to age much.

[sneaky_flute]

Steady diet of milk, chili peppers, and cocaine.

Can't wait till he's 43 and we sign him.

[Troll Daddy]

There is still hope for Pujols, I guess.

Only if he steals Big Poopy's stash

Would Pujols numbers greatly benefit from playing DH primarily?

Possibly, but his value to the Angels would decrease. He still adds significant value defensively.

 

As a first baseman, Papi was always a great designated hitter.

Remember when David Ortiz lost his bat speed in 2009 and had to become a dead pull hitter.  I wonder how he magically got it back?

He's a free agent this offseason?

[Guest]

I hate this guy and his stupid nickname.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Interesting fact that I found on Wikipedia.   He ages at the same pace as the rest of us.   Amazing.

He has found a magical combo:  a non-aversion to needles, the Pesky Pole, and beating the hell out of the green monster.

 

Edited to include the other secret ingredient:  his massive arm forearm protector which gives him the confidence to lean over the plate and stare at pitchers who dare to pitch two inches off the plate and inside.

Yep, the Barroids factor (forearm protector)

Interesting how this guy gets a pass and ARod doesn't.

Holy shit! This may be the best post of the year.

Dude is still mashing. 

 

Yeah, he's a former roider and plays for the Red Sox but I don't really dislike the guy for some reason. 

[Angel Oracle]

He didn't make a total mockery of the game like Barroids did.

Just look at Barroids' head, pre-Giants vs. Giants.

Ortiz is probably the main reason why I know Pujols is clean. Ortiz is an f'n cheat and in terms of ability, couldn't hold Albert's jock. Yet here he is at age 40 defying time the only way cheaters did in the 90's and early 2000's knew how.

I have no idea whether or not Albert was clean in STL. I suspect he wasn't just as I suspect he's 3 years older than he says he is, but one thing is for certain, he's not juicing right now.

The difference between Ortiz at 40 and Pujols at 34 should be the opposite if what it is. F Papi, I hope MLB stops protecting his cheating butt for the sake of selling tickets and jerseys.

Yall just hatin on the teflon slugger

I thought he should DH from the moment he got here. 

[Taylor]

I thought he should DH from the moment he got here. 

 

Why? He's still really good defensively.

you are far too nice to this self righteous prick. He admitted cheating and then tried to convince everyone he never said anything. He is protected by MLB for some stupid reason. He went nuts last year in Toronto after he grounded out. He didn't like the strike one call earlier in the AB. He still saw two more strikes before he grounded out. He estrogen the water cooler. No fine. No suspension. No nothing. **** Ortiz and his cheating redfux ass.
