Ortiz Wrist Still A Problem?

Ortiz made some interesting comments today about his bothersome wrist:

“My hand is not OK,” Ortiz said. “It’s still bugging me once in awhile but we’re winning, so I don’t pay attention to it.”

“No pain, just clicking,” Ortiz said. “If it was pain, I wouldn’t be playing. Pain won’t allow you to play like that. I just try to not think about it and just play. Since I got this thing, my whole swing has changed, you know? I mentally try to keep the same approach going to the plate and not think about it but it’s hard, man, really tough (Boston Herald).”

With the Brady injury coming yesterday, I am still a little shell shocked, but this doesn't sound like anything that is going to be too major. Ortiz hasn't been the same guy we saw in previous seasons all year, but he has been good enough to help the lineup. I think he is going to be fine, and I really like how deep the Sox lineup has been looking over the past couple of week (especially with Lowell back).
