Big congratulations go out to Big Papi, who collected yet another Silver Slugger Award today- the fourth in a row for him (tying him with Paul Molitor and Edgar Martinez for the most all-time awards for a DH). No DH had ever won the Silver Slugger three times in a row until Papi did it last year- and now he's rolled on to a fourth.
In addition to congrats on the Silver Slugger, I also want to throw a quick "Get Well" to Papi- he successfully underwent knee surgery this week, will start rehab immediately, and should be back and ready to go in spring training.

I also have to shout out my Philly boys Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins- Rollins won a Gold Glove earlier this week, and now added the Silver Slugger to his collection. (MVP! MVP!)

I always liked Paul Molitor because when I was a kid I sent him a baseball card which he signed and sent back.
So thank you, Paul.
