Stuck in contract limbo, Papi not fretting future


redsox.com  BOSTON -- David Ortiz arrived at the annual dinner for the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America not knowing how much money he will make in 2012, but with the knowledge that he'll be back for a 10th season of driving in runs for the Red Sox.
"[Heck] yeah, another year that you come in and do your thing, like usual," Ortiz said on Thursday night.
But it's a bit unusual for Ortiz in that he accepted Boston's offer for arbitration instead of keeping his free-agent rights, and the designated hitter might actually go to a hearing with the team he's played for since 2003.

Jasper's thoughts:  I am glad to see that Ortiz will be coming back with a Red Sox uniform on.  I would be very mad if they let him go seeing as he's been an anchor for this team since 2003.  It is also a smart move to bring him back, Ortiz posted career high numbers last year batting .309 with 29 home runs and 96 runs batted in.
