This isn't biologically feasible.

"David Ortiz is spoiling it for the rest of the 40-year-olds in baseball.

Big Papi is putting together an insane, MVP-level year for the Red Sox during his farewell season. With a .337 average, 1.146 OPS, 14 home runs and 47 RBI, Ortiz looks like a slugger 10-15 years his junior.

This isn't normal."

The rest of the article is old news: ARod stinks.

ARod won't play every day ... I agree this is probably a good move, just to keep him energetic enough to hit an occasional HR.

When you look at the other hitters in this lineup, it's not as if he's taking at-bats away from Mattingly.

As ARod slogs towards Ruth using this disastrous all-or-nothing approach that he has employed for the past 10 years or so ... the man hasn't batted .300 since 2008, steroids or not ... one may turn their attention back to the Mitchell Report and wonder exactly how Ortiz looks like an abnormal slugger 10-15 years his junior.

How a sports writer could come so close to connecting the dots without actually connecting the dots.
