TheOldRoman Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yeah, we had high hopes for him in Minnesota. My memory of him struggling, then hitting like 4 homers in 5 games and promptly getting injured. Then coming back from IR and repeating. When the Twins finally gave up on him, I did not dispute it...then, well...It could be wrong, but I remember hearing that Ortiz was poor fundamentally and refused to do things "the Twins way", such as sacrifice power to hit to the opposite field. Either way, the steroids had a huge role in him becoming such a star hitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've remained consistent throughout his career. You can't say that allegedly using PEDs back in 2003 has accounted for his consistent power numbers since.

tubby34 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Maybe he's been using PED's since he was signed as a youngster? Maybe his true ceiling is roofing homes in the South Miami area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'm sure this has been posted, but as a Red Sox fan, it's strange to see David Ortiz in a uniform that isn't Boston's. But it turns out he played for the Twins from 1997-2002, which was a time period I didn't pay attention to sports that much. It's also double strange since I began watching sports in 2003, Ortiz's first season with the Red Sox and Boston's championship year. Bonus points for being an alternate that he only had the chance to wear for three seasons. Fun fact- Ortiz's first clutch October hit actually came as a Twin. Game 5, 2002 ALDS. Twins were up 4-1 on an AJ Pierzynski 2-run HR. Ortiz hit an RBI double that proved crucial. In the bottom of the 9th, Mark Ellis hit a 3-run HR. If Ortiz hadn't come through, Oakland ties the game and who knows what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
