Zambrano has walked SIX times... in his CAREER! (click for full)

That's 1 walk every 102 plate appearances. My buddy claims that this is normal for pitchers. That the opposing pitcher tends to pound the strikezone considering that batting pitchers tend to suck at the plate. This is incorrect. First of all, the NL average for pitchers is 1 walk in 27 plate appearances. Thar's four times higher than Zambrano's. Secondly, Zambrano hit .337 (THREE THIRTY SEVEN!) in 2008. (funny enough, his OBP was also exactly .337 - I wonder if that's ever happened before) The point being, he far from sucks at the plate (Bill Mueller won the 2003 batting champion award with .326)

What does it mean? Absolutely nothing. I just think it's hilarious. Swing away Carlos!

It's also cool to see just how hot Z was in 2008. And interesting that he only laid down TWO bunts that season (Dempster has 5 already THIS YEAR - in 12 Plate Appearances).
