    Put David Ortiz on your ballot?

    He's not getting in. Didn't his name show up on a few steroid lists?

    Yeah, if Mike Piazza can't get in, I don't see how Ortiz will anytime soon. Much less speculation with Piazza.

    Never been on any reports, always been vocal about it also supporting harsher penalties. Hard to believe any of em, but he's kept his name clean. I mentioned in the past he is smarter by keeping some fat and not making it look so obvious if he did use.

    I barely remember this, but his name has been mentioned.

    Any kind of speculation, and you're done. He's not getting in.

    It's an interesting argument. If a DH can't get in, then arguably neither can a closer or a relief pitcher. It's a specialized craft, but important to the game no less. Ortiz had his peak years when he got to Boston from MN. His best stat years were from 2003-2007. He dealt with nagging injuries and has had a bit of a resurgence the last few years. He's had better than his career average in most power #'s the last 3 years which is suspicious. I typed "David Ortiz" into google and the first auto fill put steroids after his name. The rumors have been there, he will prob eventually get in when they start letting in the suspected users in.
