Ortiz's future

What to do with the slumping David Ortiz? Nobody wants to see his demise. He has been beloved in Boston since 2003. His hitting ability is in a downward spiral. At this point putting him on the DL seems inevitable. He looks very uncomfortable at the plate. I think mentally it has taken a serious toll on him. I would put him on the 60 day DL. come up with some kind of injury. Making a trade this month could be a good idea. A player like Adam Dunn would be a great DH. He can play the feild if need be. He's a 40 home run a year guy. He strikes out a ton but he would be far more prductive than Big Papi. Hitting him fourth between youkilis and Bay would be a tough middle of the order. Alot of times players don't translate from one league to another. Jason Bay had no problem. Maybe Dave Magadan can help reduce the Dunn strike out factor. They need to do something. They share first with the Yankees right now. Adding another bat could help keep them there. What do you think the Red Sox should do about the decreasing skills of David Ortiz?
