David Ortiz will be around for at least another year as he has had his 2011 option picked up. I like it. Are they over paying? Absolutely. But none of the other DH-types out there are David Ortiz and none of them have his cachet. And despite his April, David had a good year last year.
I do hope that he doesn't complain about only getting one year, though. It's hard to like a whiner, especially one making $12.5 million. And besides, if he thought the past two years were rough, can you imagine the crap he'd have to deal with if he got himself a couple of years and then struggled again? The media would have a field day with tearing him down.
