Brand Ortiz

David Ortiz speaks about his club option in 2011 from the prosective of being more a part of the Red Sox brand than a Red Sox basher.

"I'm not just another player on the Red Sox that goes to Fenway and plays, I'm a guy, I carry that organization with me everywhere I go. I've got it stamped on my forehead. I'm not saying this just to say I want them to get to know that. They know that and I know this is a business. At one point, they have to make a decision. And they will, because that's how this goes." David Ortiz
