Minnesota Twins' CF Carlos Gomez has walked just five times with 134 ABs. As a result, he is constantly mentioned as a player who could lose his job. Are there any other players with fewer walks or even the same number in more ABs who don't seem to draw the same attention as the 22-year-old speedster does?
Here is the answer to my rhetorical question.
| PLAYER | TEAM | AB | BB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Derek Jeter | NYY | 133 | 5 |
| Christian Guzman | WAS | 159 | 5 |
| Emil Brown | OAK | 145 | 5 |
| Benji Molina | SF | 117 | 4 |
| Kevin Kouzmanoff | SD | 162 | 4 |
| Jason Bartlett | TB | 125 | 3 |
| Jose Lopez | SEA | 152 | 3 |
| Jason Kubel | MIN | 117 | 3 |
| Yuni betancourt | SEA | 131 | 3 |
| Erick Aybar | LAA | 127 | 2 |
Amongst these are some players who will never lose their full-time job this season. The biggest one is New York Yankees' SS Derek Jeter. With just one HR on the season, he has nothing going for him but the hope that the walk and power outages are just proof of a small sample size and not the beginning of the end.

Is this surprising that Jeter is just nosing out Gomez?
