"Not only did he tell a number of stories to the assembled media, but he admitted to considering unconventional methods to get out of his season-long slump - he's batting .187 with one home run and 20 RBIs. Step one, go to an eye doctor. "You know what? I've been thinking about getting my eyes checked, for real," said Ortiz, who occasionally wears glasses. "There have been some situations that something has happened to my eyes, my vision. But I'm planning on getting my eyes checked out sometime soon . . . just to make sure. "We get our eyes checked every year. I'm 20-20. Go and check it out. It's not anything big. I will, though. I seriously will (Boston.com)."
Ugh, this is getting ridiculous. Whatever is causing Ortiz's "slump" whether it be lack of steroids, age, bad knees, i think we can all agree that a random eye exam is not going to fix the problem. I have been reading a lot of speculation on the "trade rumor" boards about possible deals the Sox might be considering. With every passing day I think there is added pressure on Theo to get something done, because we have the pieces to be able to trade to add a big bat to this lineup, or at least someone to keep the lineup moving (instead of the automatic out that Ortiz is).
