The all-time age-40 All-Star team

Buster Olney wrote about David Ortiz on Sunday, suggesting the Boston Red Sox need to have a plan in case Ortiz doesn't hit as well as he did in 2015 -- unlike the Yankees in Derek Jeter's final season, when they kept running him out at shortstop and batting him second in the lineup despite subpar numbers.

Ortiz, like Jeter in 2014, will play his final season at age 40. What to expect from Big Papi in his final season? As Buster pointed out, Ortiz hit .325/.401/.701 with 22 home runs in just 66 games in the second half, so the signs point to little loss in ability.
