Red Sox Bench Big Papi
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Seattle Mariners,  Los Angeles Angels
PLAYERS: David Ortiz,  Rocco Baldelli
The Boston Red Sox are giving Big Papi a much needed break. The team has benched the one-time slugger for tonight's game against the Seattle Mariners. J.D.

It is mid-May and Big Papi is still looking for his first home run of the season. He is batting a paltry .208 with a .318 OPS. Yesterday against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Orange Co...
