Michael Barrett Doesn’t Believe in Walking

Posted by Chris J. on July 19, 2007

As long as I have insomnia . . . .

Today is July 19.  Michael Barrett hasn't drawn a walk since June 9.  Weird. Sure, he's only played 23 games in that stretch but still.  Yeesh.

It's not yet the longest streak of his career though.  Back in '01 he went 25 games without a free pass.  While not a prolific walker, he normally averages one every three games.  He needs to get his head screwed on right and hack away less.
