Ortiz wins DH Award
2006-12-05 13:42
by Bob Timmermann

David Ortiz won the Edgar Martinez Award as the top DH in baseball. The award has been given out since 1973.

Presumably, it was not named after Edgar Martinez in 1973. Martinez was 10 years old back then and presumably not dreaming of coming up to bat four times a game and then hanging out in the dugout the rest of the game.

The fact that DHs exist is bad enough. Do they really need an award?

So who won this year's Craig Counsell Award for scrappiest utility man?

Craig Counsell.

I hear that Pujols was upset that he didn't win the award, since he carried his team to the playoffs and Ortiz didn't.
