Oh he kept them out of last place?!?! What an accomplishment!! Stop while you're ahead, or in this case, just stop before it gets any worse. A rod's stats were far and away better than anybody else while having nobody around him. Ortez is on a good team with manny, and his stats aren't as far away as A rod's were from competition. And on top of that, A rod played a very good SS. Don't even both brining that up, cause it holds no water in the defense of Ortez. He has no chance.
