Ortiz simply isn't getting anything to hit. He's pressing because of it.
I think Francona put Bay low in the batting order so there wouldn't be as much pressure initially. If he keeps hitting like he is, he'll be capable protection in the batting order.
Bringing Bonds on is essentially keeping Manny. Just trading one jerk for another. We've won 6 of 7 since Bay came on board and Manny was jettisoned.. There's a reason for it.
