"Top to bottom, you've got a guy who can hurt you. Come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be." Sort of throwing his lineup under the bus, is Ortiz not? I love David, but when his team is getting hammered by the dregs of the AL Central, shouldn't he be worried about issues much larger than individual awards like MVP? Who wants an MVP award when it is on a team that crumbled and died? Furthermore, who wants to make such a big deal hemming and hawing about the fact that they might not get that award, that they (intentionally or not)end up dissing their teammates? Seth-
