Ortiz says knee feels almost 100 percent

After playing most of last season with a bum right knee, David Ortiz is back and ready to rock.

Ortiz underwent surgery immediately following the World Series, and after months of rehabilitation he’s “Getting almost 100 percent.”

He still has some swelling in his knee after he works out, but he doesn’t have “that clicking and that pain that I was having before.

“I know you don’t get any younger at this game, and this is a game that’s all about speed - hitting, pitching, running, doing everything. So the older you get, you have to put in a little bit of extra work in what you do so you stay in good shape.”

Even with a bum knee, he managed to put up what I think were the best offensive numbers of his career in 2007.

It will feel good to see him crushing the ball again.
