The Red Sox are not looking for a hitter yet, but at some point, Boston is going to need some offensive production from David Ortiz. The Red Sox could live with him if he were hitting .250 or .260 with some power, but so far, he's been nothing short of awful. Boston ranks dead last in OPS among designated hitters in the majors, and of course, Boston is the only team that has not gotten a single home run from the DH spot.
In a division that contains four strong contenders, there is very little margin for error, and the Red Sox cannot continue to lose run production in big spots because Ortiz is not hitting, as they did last week.
