A Rod's fielding is so bad that it weakens the team.

Ortiz is so bad in the field they won't even play him. He's not a complete player, he's a great hitter.

The award is Most Valuable Player. You "play" in the field too. The DH is a sucky rule anyway.

A lie . . . he played in the 2004 WS v. St. Louis, and even turned a DP. He's not a bad first baseman at all.
