This gem comes from Joe Posnanski’s blog:

Brilliant reader Preston sent in this gem. David DeJesus leads the Kansas City Royals with 46 walks. That is one behind Los Angeles’ Matt Kemp, who has 47 walks. OK … so what’s the big deal?

Here’s the big deal: Matt Kemp is EIGHTH on the Dodgers in walks. Eighth.

Which means that EVERY SINGLE PLAYER in the Dodgers starting lineup (with the exception of the pitcher, of course) has more walks than ANY player on the Kansas City Royals.

Dayton Moore wanted to increase the Royals ability to get on base this year. They are 13th in AL OBP at .314. In 2008, they were 12th at .320. Great job, Dayton.
