Beware Big Papi This Evening!

This season, Sidney Ponson has allowed left-handed batters to produce the following BA/OBA/SLG line against him: .343/.412/.515 (in 275 PA)
And, in his career, David Ortiz has the following BA/OBA/SLG line when facing Ponson: .462/.569/.795 (in 51 PA). No, those numbers are not a misprint. That’s an OPS of 1.364!
I sense a Papi Perfect Storm forming over Sir Sidney’s head tonight. Anyone else see it? Maybe it would make more sense for Ponson to just walk Ortiz each time he has to face him this evening?
