The voting results for some of Major League Baseball’s season awards simply don’t make any sense. The Boston Red Sox certainly can’t complain considering the number of highly decorated players on their roster but one hitter who may have a bit of a gripe is J.D. Martinez.
Oakland A’s slugger Khris Davis beat out Martinez for the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter award, an achievement voted on by beat writers, broadcasters and the American League’s public relations department. You would expect this collection of voters to know a thing or two about baseball, perhaps even having seen a few games this year, but you wouldn’t know it from these results.
