HBT: Big Papi wants three-year deal

Look, I know people declared David Ortiz dead in parts of 2009 and 2010 and that he came roaring back every time. And I know that he had a great 2011. ?But really, this seems kind of crazy to me: ?Ortiz is looking for a three-year deal.

He?s 36. He?s one-dimensional. It?s a great dimension, but really, I don?t see how you give eight figures for three straight years to a DH who, as we?ve seen in the past, could just fall off a cliff. And maybe next time it?s permanent.

Two years? Maybe. Or some creative vesting deal or something. But I just don?t know a team could commit huge money to a guy like Ortiz through the end of 2014.
