I still don't think we should give up on Ortiz just yet, but I'm all for limiting his time a bit. July wasn't great, but Ortiz still did hit 7 HRs, 24 RBI and slug .539. He's on a cold streak again right now, but I think you have to try and work it out. If we can have a healthy, "normalish" Ortiz for October, the team will be in much better shape. I think it might be worth it to let him struggle in the lineup 3 games out of 5 for a while longer.
