When the Diamondbacks signed Russ Ortiz to a four-year deal as the Winter Meetings officially opened for business Friday, they added a bulldog of a right-hander they hope will be a core veteran on a team on the rise in 2005.

Ramon Ortiz has been through difficult seasons, most notably when he was demoted to the Anaheim Angels' bullpen in 2004, a year after he won 16 games for his original team. But now, less than three weeks after nearly throwing a no-hitter, Ortiz is floundering, and the Washington Nationals...

It won't be the same for David Murphy's second hit. The fans won't rise to give him a standing ovation. David Ortiz won't stop by to offer congratulations. The manager won't save the ball. Reporters won't crowd around his locker.

The heart of Red Sox Nation is beating again. It&#39;s beating thanks to David Ortiz&#39;s two-run, walk-off homer in the 12th inning with no outs, giving the Red Sox a 6-4, come-from-behind win.

He was lighthearted enough to pass along his theories on being a designated hitter - not suited for a family audience - yet David Ortiz conceded yesterday that his absence from the Red Sox lineup was about more than just a simple day of rest. His right knee, the one in which a torn meniscus has bothered him for much ...

he big scoreboards at Yankee Stadium went dark in the seventh inning last night. Not that the Yankees were using them. Ramon Ortiz, a pitcher with average credentials this season, was on the

ST. LOUIS, United States : Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz typically plays as a designated hitter, but the Dominican dynamo must now take a fielding role as the 100th World Series shifts here for game three Tuesday.

First it seemed Russ Ortiz would be relegated to the bullpen for the division series. Now it sounds like he&#39;ll start a potentially decisive Game 4 if the series goes that far.

MVP? On this night, that would stand for a mightily, vociferously peeved David Ortiz, distressed at the way his remarks about the American League MVP race were used to portray him as selfishly campaigning for himself while disparaging Derek Jeter of the Yankees.

If the slide Friday night that strained his left shoulder taught David Ortiz nothing else, it seems to finally have taught him this: Don't run on Jermaine Dye .

He's the Red Sox slugger every pitcher fears. With his team on a tear and his fame on the rise, the native Dominican has just released an autobiography, Big Papi. David Ortiz will now take your questions

NORTON -- We're all drawn to greatness. When David Ortiz steps into the batter's box at Fenway Park, we lay claim to him because he plays for our team, in our city, and that means we are qualified to take ownership of a small piece of his greatness when he hits one over the Wall. Same thing with Ted Williams, ...

It demands a look. And a second look. And perhaps even a third. When 1.364 pops up in the on-base plus slugging category for the American League Championship Series, it brings to mind a true middle-of-the-order hitter. It brings to mind Manny Ram&#xED;rez (a gaudy 1.491), or David Ortiz (1.225). But, no, that number belongs to Kevin Youkilis, ...

David Ortiz has yet to steal a base for the Red Sox. He&#39;s unlikely to score from first on anything but a homer. For him to triple, something pretty awful has to happen to at least two outfielders.

What fun would life be without a good old-fashioned baseball MVP argument? I know poor Papi never imagined the consequences of just being a loyal member of Sluggers, Inc. David Ortiz was simply stating the case for his fellow boppers, as opposed to the table setters of the world. The American League East race may be over, but with a ...
