last qualified player to take a walk 2k13

get your bets in now

for reference - last (qualifying) player to take a walk in 2011

yes, one of my fav anual threads

feeling pretty good about the following

jose iglesias
michael morse
emilio bonifacio
adeiny hechevarria
chris carter
dayan vicideo

yus those are def some contenders

also keep an eye on:

erick aybar
salvy perez
josh rutledge
jesus montero
carlos gomez
juan pierre

who had the lowest walk rate last year of that bunch?

juan pierre has been doing this for so long, ageless wonder

hetch, morse, aybar, salvy, rutledge

xp to morbs

chris carter actually had a 15% walk rate last year so he'll prob drop off this pretty quickly

oversight by me, pierre walked today! hueg upset

pity Pierre never led off for Dusty (right?)

I was just typing B.J. Upton's name, but he walked before I could post it.

salvy walked

Looks like walks are one of Adam Lind's biggest strengths this year for once! ( .063/.167/.063 ), not to mention he can tie his career high in stolen bases with just 1 more!

bryce harper has yet to walk this year

the list! (the last 4 on the list only have an intentional walk)

aj pierzynski
bryce harper
torii hunter
chris getz
placido polanco
martin prado

starlin castro
daniel descalso
jayson werth

mookie how many PAs to count as a quali on your list? Some guys of note missing... viciedo, montero, pollack, cowgill, castillo all had +30 pas I think

just getting it off espn; i assume it's 3.1pa/team game or whatever

we are down to

Sortable Batting
RK	PLAYER	TEAM	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	SB	CS	BB	SO	AVG	OBP	SLG	OPS	WAR
1	Jeff Keppinger	CHW	66	5	11	1	0	0	2	0	0	0	9	.167	.164	.182	.346	0.1
 	Carlos Gomez	MIL	55	8	17	2	1	2	5	1	1	0	8	.309	.321	.491	.812	0.0

 	A.J. Pollock	ARI	48	6	13	7	0	2	8	2	0	0	10	.271	.265	.542	.807	0.4

doesnt perfectly line up, SO column is BBs so carlos gomez does really still have 0
