Not most valuable batter.
Ortiz is great at what he does, but he's only half a ballplayer.
A DH shouldn't win the MVP.
So DH isn't a position in major league baseball?
A Rod's fielding is so bad that it weakens the team.
Who is the most feared batter in the game today with the game on the line?
Jeter with his Drama Queen antics at the plate?
Gay Rod with his strike outs and pop ups when the game is on the line and home runs when the game is already decided?
No.
Ask any manager in the game and they will tell you that Oritz is the man that they fear the most.
