I am blocked from accessing Rototimes during the work day so I haven't been able to draw any attnetion to Mike Sheets' excellent post on Alphonso Soriano's increased walk rate in 2006. (RotoTimes.com - Blogs)
He properly notes that Soriano's 67 BBs were more twice what he drew in either 2005 or 2004 (33 in each) or his career-high of 38 in 2003.
Also highlighted are the 16 intentional BBs amongst the 67 total BBs in 2006.
Correcting for those at a typical career-rate would have Soriano drawing 53 BBs.
That isn't great, but, if he maintained that next year, he'd remain a 40+ player. And those 53 BBs would establish his second-highest season total.
