EDGE Analysis

Why is Big Papi retiring after this season, again? The 40-year-old DH is near the top of the league in most offensive statistics -- first in SLG (.629) and OPS (1.04) - and while hitting in the heart of the top offense in the league can't hurt, most of his peripherals are rock solid, disproving the notion that luck has been much of a factor in his stellar performance this year. The Red Sox will rest him down the stretch when they can, but they'll still need his bat as much as possible while fighting for first in the AL East.
