Huh?  Aramis Ramirez wins the Hank Aaron Award for best offensive statistics.  How does that happen?  For the first time, MLB.com is making the award based on fan voting.  Oh, and I guess the Cubs have a lot of fans.

Baseball Think Factory carries the excerpt (with some comments) from the Chicago newspaper.  I like the commenter who says they should just let Hank Aaron pick the award winner, rather than the fans.  As noted in the article, Ramirez doesn't even have the best offensive statistics among 3d baseman, with David Wright appearing to have the better offensive season.  Pujols, Berkman, Ludwick, and Hanley Ramirez were all probably better offensive performers last year.  Chipper Jones and Holliday also arguably had better years, even though injuries kept them from attaining high counting stats in some categories.

Here, by the way, are NL players' batting stats, ordered by OPS.
