Well, that's not necessarily true. Aside from Ortiz at first base, Boston's infield defense is just about as good as St. Louis'. They may not have as much range as the Cardinals, but Bellhorn, Cabrera and Mueller are fundamentally sound. And if the Red Sox can get through the starters and carry leads into the late innings, they have Doug Mientkiewicz - a two-time Gold Glover - to replace Ortiz.
