Valdez went 2 for 4 with a double in yesterday's loss to the Rockies, and his OPS+ has blossomed to 20. I take back all the mean things I said about him.

Sandoval started this season with 4 consecutive days with GIDP. I guess his 5th one was in the last game last season.

HA! Really great idea there Jeff J. Now that you've pointed that out I wonder if the higher ups will block that exploit.

It shows the # of GIDPs for the top 5 but nothing else...won't tell me who they are. Call it what you will, their identities are blocked out for me, a non-subscriber.

For the period that grounded into double play stats are available, Cal Ripken, Jr. is the all-time leader with 350. Following Ripken are Hank Aaron (328), Carl Yastrzemski (323), and Dave Winfield (319). Eddie Murray and Jim Rice are tied for fifth place with 315. Ripken passed Aaron in 2000, after Aaron had been the leader since 1970.

There is no such thing as "blocked out top 5"

Sorry...my bad. I'm new to this P.I. thing and not a subscriber. They blocked out the top 5...Rice was the first one visible to me. Someone has 350.

Just checked...Jim Rice with 315. But Ivan Rodriguez is at 314! A career record is about to be broken! Who knew?

Look at the collective speed of this nonet! I'm surprised the number isn't higher! I believe Jim Rice has the career record for GIDP, no?
