Especially Ortiz, who most of us have been expecting to be bad at the start of the season. If Youkilis, Martinez, Pedroia etc were floundering at the start of the season, then it'd be more of a concern. I personally expected this to happen (although I don't expect it to last 2 months), so I don't think it's such a big deal. Especially when we're not playing the best team in baseball.
