I'll take Ortiz's defense and the tiny chance of him randomly running into one over Hamilton getting himself down in the count all the time by trying and failing horribly to bunt.
The All-Star Game is in Philly this year. He should be an All-Star even if he had an 8 ERA just based on how the Phillies reacted to him being one last year.
Which was changed to a strain when they put him on the IL. Again, they are completely different. A cramp lasts for a couple minutes. A strain is typically 2-4 weeks.

A strain and a cramp are completely different. If it's actually just a cramp he might miss one start but probably wouldn't miss any time or just have his start pushed back a day or two.
He has an OBP higher than one of our starting outfielders' OPS and almost as high as another starting outfielder's OPS. I'll take the chance on him running into one or drawing a walk over the other two.
