David Ortiz is inching closer and closer to history.

The Boston Red Sox designated hitter has 498 career home runs, just two shy of the historic 500 mark. He could very well reach that plateau this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays. And while he chases history, NESN's Tom Caron believes he is a good choice for your daily fantasy baseball team.
