Trade Ortiz!

The Red Sox hit four home runs Sunday afternoon as they down the Reds 9-0. Since David Ortiz last played on 5/31, Boston is hitting for more power:

Red Sox 2008March-MayJune
Batting Average.280.283
Slugging Percentage.441.488

J.D. Drew hit his seventh home run since since Ortiz went down. He's hitting .447 with a 1.085 slugging percentage. Lowell, Ramirez, Youkilis and Casey are all putting up high slugging percentages in David's absence. So far, the Red Sox are weathering this injury just fine.

Drew has also already equaled his home run total of last year, just in time for his visit to Philadelphia a park that he appears to be comfortable in and where he is batting .300 with a .417 OBA and a .533 slugging %.

GABP is like Coors Field of the '90's - take all performances in context - makes Volquez look even better -
