2. David Ortiz
Designated masher
He's essentially been the only heart-of-the-order hitter not to underachieve, endure injury, or both this season. In June, Papi had an OPS of 1.039, mashed 9 homers (leaving him one shy of 400 for his career), drove in 18 runs, and walked (18) more than he whiffed (15) for the second month in a row. Where would the Red Sox be without him?
