Martinez appeared in 32 games as a RF, another 25 games in LF, 93 as DH. Davis appeared in 11 games as a LF, 139 as DH.
i guess they just saw Davis as more of a pure DH? beats me

apparently voters are instructed to take only stats as a DH into account; martinez hit .297/.373/.597 with 27 HR and 79 RBI in 93 games/400 PA as a DH while davis did essentially everything as a DH
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the edgar martinez award committee is corrupt
Is this actually comprised of former DHs? What did Jeff Burroughs know, and when did he know it?
