Default Most Times on Base in the Last Ten Years

1997-2006

Jeter: 2714
A-Rod: 2662
Bonds: 2649
Abreu: 2616
Helton: 2610
Manny: 2580
Gonzo: 2577
Delgado: 2554
Chipper: 2542

What name suprises you the most? For me it was Delgado.

Gonzo jumps out. I thought Bonds would be at the top, but missing most of last year and a lot of 99 hurt.

Chipper's been hurt a ton, too, but it coincides with his peak. 99 was such an awesome year.

Both Jeter and A-Rod surprise me here. I thought Bonds would be comfortably out in front.

Delgado suprises me too, but I wonder how many other guys might have topped him (and some others) if not for injuries.

It would interesting to see the top 25, with games played beside them.

Amazing that he missed an entire season and large portions of others and still ends up third. He probably wins by 200+ if he plays last year.

Not being in the top 10, but being ahead of Bonds. I thought even with the injuries he would be out in front.

I guess I'm somewhat surprised about ARod being ahead, but Jeter = 700 plate appearances a year.

"if not for injuries."

I guess that's the point I was trying to make (as well as to provoke general discussion). Staying healthy and in the lineup day in and day out makes you a valuable commodity to your team. Give me a guy who's going to get on base 2,500 times over the next ten years and I'll take my chances with him.
