3 walks? unheard of! Hopefully lofton is teaching him how to take walks?

He's not batting lead-off,he walked a bit when out of the lead off spot last year as well,but an expert like you would know that.

Ray Durham has been a guy who has not walked much his entire career. Who cares about a few walks here and there? My point was, ray almost never walks. and ummm leadoff hitters should walk more not less, i dont get your point(as usual).

He was second on the team in walks last year. He usually walks 50-70 times per year - not great when compared to bonds, but terrific when compared to the White Sox - expecially clayton and singleton.

He wasn't a great leadoff hitter - just the best one we had. Hopefully he will have a solid year at number 2. he should get a lot of good pitches, with Frank backing him up (of course that, again, makes one wonder where the 3 walks came from).
