A Voice From the D.R.

Well, now it's official, at least in my eyes and probably in yours, too. Our Big Papi, David Ortiz, has spoken from the Dominican Republic and his subject was our quirky left fielder-DH, Manny. It now appears that Manny will be Manny out on the West coast. Papi seems to have accepted it. So must we. Essential in the upcoming trade is to procure a bat to protect Papi in the lineup. Yes, we need a cleanup hitter, or a number five if they move Papi to cleanup. We shall see.
More on the Beckett possible trade later, as we wait for the physicals to take place and the official sweet announcement to be made.
