I have put the box around the DP.

I know that it is not GIDP, but i have no idea what it is.

I'm pretty sure players who participated in the turning of a double play are listed there. :)

You decided to get Teixeira without giving Salty up, huh? Nice.

Sometimes you see it written as GiDP. Means the same thing, grounded into double play.

Hr? Means Hottie Row ____. Where ___ is the row number

Just to be perfectly clear: GIDP is when a hitter hits into a double play. A player who earns a DP (as shown in the box scores) is a defensive player who participates in actually turning a double play against the batter.

DP = good.
GIDP = bad.
