These Cleats Are Made For Walking: Two Month Update

We’re a little under two months into the 2013 regular season. Last week, we mourned the loss of White Sox second baseman Jeff Keppinger’s epic streak towards OBP disaster.  And while his wRC+ remains at a staggeringly low 19, we can’t marvel at his incompetence quite as much anymore. However, he does remain the only qualified hitter in baseball with only two walks. And he’s up to 172 plate appearances. 

How are our three favorite sophomore catchers doing? Well, Salvador Perez, Welington Castillo and J.P. Arencibia managed four combined walks all of last week, bringing their collective total to ten walks through 485 plate appearances (127 games). 

And oh by the way, Joey Votto is up to 43 on the year. 

Happy Monday.
