You are on drugs if you do not think Papi is MVP caliber. He is one of the best, if not THE best, hitter in the game. Sure he does not play the field but that does not take away from his offensive skills.
Do you really have to dislike someone simply because he is not a Yankee? - Shallow.
Almost every good hitter would have 1/2 the numbers if another good hitter was not behind him. What would AROD have if Giambi & Sheffield were not behind him?
