Last qualified player to walk 2014

hmm guess i could've drawn the line at 17 instead of 20, which would also include Jimmy Rollins, so I guess he's a good write-in

it's a bit early for this, i'm gonna wait a week and see who's left

cool i was thinking abt starting this

juan uribe is always a good candidate

my favorite tradition!

i'm voting for hechavarria

bj upton might be a good option as well

i went with howie kendrick because the angels don't seem that interested in walking and he is a great perennial candidate

voting Pierzynski b/c he's more likely to be beaned repeatedly.

wilin rosario already walked, somehow. last year he didn't walk after July (131 PAs)

pedroia walked 73 times last year!

appears to be down to

Aramis Ramirez
Juan Uribe
B.J. Upton
Ian Kinsler
Melky Cabrera
Dustin Pedroia
Howie Kendrick
Elvis Andrus
Adeiny Hechavarria
Khris Davis
Jonathan Schoop
Stephen Lombardozzi
Mike Zunino

Voted Upton. Chipper put a bunch of THOUGHTS into his head yesterday that he'll be swinging his way out of for a month.

Hechavarria is hitting about .350, so he may not take til he's under .270

could be jonathan schoop, you dont walk off of curaçao

i think upton might have to be the leader in the clubhouse right now

pierzynski is still alive, but i guess he is unqualified at the moment

going in on howie kendrick here

I went with Ian Kinsler

Uribe

i'll take andrus

i will be a jerk and wait until the day before the poll closing date to vote, since it's two weeks away. then i will choose from the 1-2 players that are left and feel empty inside.

that's so karl

Down goes Upton!

he began the game with a 0 wrc+ (who knew?)

so 0-for-x with a walk is an improvement (until his walkoff hr in the 10th tonight, of course)

getting down to it now, you look up and all of a sudden howie kendrick somehow has 4 walks

heres whos left, ive added evan gattis if hes not techincally qualified hes rt on the verge

URIBE
SCHOOP
LOMBARDOZZI
ZUNINO
GATTIS

~fyi jeff keppinger took us to may 17th last season so we could still be here awhile~

I WON.

walks are overrated, guys. Keith Hernandez says ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

(he's rivaling Joe Morgan of ten years ago in not understanding his own career)

uribe dgaf. batting .377/.377/.607

APRIL!

The bases loaded with walks, Jose Uribe pops out to shallow left-center on a 2-0 pitch.

saw the box score tday, was worried for a sec

J Uribe intentionally walked.

ZUNINO

GATTIS

Jonathan Schoop BAL
Stephen Lombardozzi BAL

SCHOOP WALKS

of course the two bolded names are on the DL, which probably will take them out of the running.

TRUMBO
A. RAMIREZ
D. SANTANA
INFANTE
ANDRUS
BYRD

let's poll it!

elvis walked

Trumbo walked, Santana y infante seem to have fallen off Qualified so its h2h grudge match

Santana walked last night

@LaVelleNeal
Oh my God! Eduardo Escobar has drawn his first walk of the season

@LaVelleNeal
He didn't even walk in spring training

75th plate appearance

@AaronGleeman
Eduardo Escobar just drew his first walk since September 3, 2014. Counting spring training he went 184 plate appearances without a walk.

Escobar currently has the most ABs (42).

Alcides Escobar
Omar Infante
Matt Kemp
Asdrubal Cabrera
Neil Walker
Justin Turner
Wilson Ramos
Nick Castellanos
Andrelton Simmons
Norichika Aoki
Michael Taylor
Kevin Pillar

i enjoy this every season

esky always a strong bet

he's out

Kevin Pillar will now be not-walking in the eighth spot rather than at leadoff.

Pillar drew a BB today! 48 AB in the leadoff spot, zero walks; they drop him back to eighth, he goes 3-3 with a walk. Casey Stengel won a few World Series supposedly preying on guys' insecurities...

i'm guessing Neil Walker is the only contender who is slugging .585?

how many left?

Walker
Ramos
Castellanos
Simmons

Walkless non-qualifying hitters with over 20 ABs:

Cameron Rupp (35)
Byron Buxton (33)
Adam Lind (33)
Brandon Drury (32)

Adam Jones (27)
Paulo Orlando (23)
Steve Pearce (22)

Slugging

Walker: .585
Castellanos: .571
Ramos: .545
Simmons: .352

Congratulations, Wilson Ramos.

braves minor leaguer willians astudillo drew his first walk of the season today (61 plate appearances)

Yulieski Gurriel "leads" all qualifying players with a 1.1 BB%.

If not, Kevin Pillar currently qualifies and first walked... April 16? POossible winner?

waited too long; we're already down to jackie bradley jr and josh fuentes

jbj's been plunked three times, at least

I think Tim Anderson was on the list and he just walked
