Clutchiest Clutchy Players: Ortiz or Pujols?

By Tangotiger, 08:03 AM

Pujols and Ortiz are putting up some great Clutchiness numbers, just about leading the league as the Clutchiest Clutchy players around.

Interestingly, last year, Ortiz put up, likely, one of the greatest clutch seasons of all-time.  Pujols, however, put up a huge Chokiness season.  I suppose if we only look at Clutch through one eye, all we see is Ortiz being a huge clutch hitter or Manny Ramirez being a big-time choker.  But, if we look at it with the other eye, we see that Pujols went from king of chokers, to top of the clutchers in one year.
