The Red Sox are attempting to recover from a disastrous collapse in 2011. They have opted to employ the band-aid method, leaving the areas that were successful untouched and attempting to patch up the areas that didn't work. One area with a returning player in place is at the DH position.
1. David Ortiz: It's pretty much a one man show at DH in Boston, but it's not a show that many people can complain about, including Ortiz, who accepted arbitration from the team in order to guarantee his return to them in 2012. He had a good season last year, hitting .309 with 29 homers. Ortiz isn't getting any younger, but his production shouldn't take a sharp decline this season, and the Red Sox are hoping for another 20-homer season out of their big lefty.
The Red Sox appear to be okay at DH. Ortiz isn't the player he once was, but he should still be able to supply some punch from the left side of the plate in their lineup.
