Thoughts? Good case, and the extra year of control really is the strongest part of it. My hang-up isn't the value so much as what Seattle needs. The Mariners were 28th in scoring, and Ortiz's bat is about average (101 OPS+, per your numbers). Most of his value is the glove. That helps with Crawford...
