if i were you, i would get rid of him right now. i just listened to Peter Gammons' report on ESPN and Ortiz's broken hand was the one he had had surgery on twice in the past. last year it took him a full year to get his power swing back, and i guaruntee his injury will last more than 2-3 weeks, even if he is not wearing a cast. i would first try to trade him, maybe to the last placed team in my league, then if i still couldnt get rid of him, i would let him go for a good young free agent pitcher.
