8. 13.42 Casey Kotchman(33 in 443)
7. 13.56 Placido Polanco (34 in 461)
6. 13.60 Bengie Molina: (30 in 408)
5. 13.75 Yadier Molina (28 in 385)
4. 14.86 Cesar Izturis (21 in 312)
3. 16.76 Yuniesky Betancourt (25 in 419)
2. 17.11 Juan Pierre (19 in 325)
1. 18.50 Jeff Keppinger (18 in 333)
Pierre has led the NL in this category the past 5 years and 6 of the last 7.
