BUNT PAPI!!!!

I am living in a world where the Red Sox can't rely on David Ortiz nor Jason Varitek in a big spot.

I'm not sure I like that world.

Papi is clearly hurt and not swinging the bat the way he should be...
He's becoming an automatic out and that most frustrating of sights: A slugger in decline.

(Think Jim Rice 1987-1989)

Pedroia is hitting in front of him and Youk and Bay are hitting behind him.

So here's what he should do...

BUNT!

They are opening up that entire side... BUNT!

Yeah I hear stuff like "the opposing team would LOVE to see David Ortiz trying to bunt" but that is under the assumption that he is bunting instead of hitting a 450 foot homer.

He's out of sync.
He's getting frustrated.
And he'll do a lot more to help the Sox at this point being at first with Youk and Bay coming up instead of walking back to the dugout.

Give it a try!
How can it be worse than his series so far???
