Unfortunately, it won't be clear whether \"Big Papi\" is fully healed until late in the spring or perhaps even after Opening Day. Even though his rehab is progressing smoothly, Boston plans on taking it slow with its veteran slugger. On the other hand, if you decide to take the chance, Ortiz maintained the much-improved contact rate he demonstrated in 2011, which bodes quite well assuming he is completely healthy. If you build enough flexibility into your roster that locking your utility spot is not a hindrance and you can get an injury discount, Ortiz can be a value play.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6.7,"playerRater15DAY":1,"positionRank":1}
