Don't know if the link doesn't work or my computer...but I would guess Ichiro although I did read a story once about Rob Deer hitting into very few DPs for a power hitter (probably cause he whiffed so often). I'd still put my money on Ichiro though.

I'm guessing Craig Biggio.

Alternative guesses: Mark McGwire, Mickey Tettleton.

Looks like Brett Butler has the best rate of GIDP.

That is a very interesting list, but Daulton and Deer stick out like sore thumbs.

Daulton was a helluva hitter for a few years: '90, '92-'93. One of the keys to that great Phillie offense in '93.

(Plus, I'll confess that he, Hollins, Dykstra, Eisenreich & Thompson were all on my NL Roto team that year, and I CLEANED up. So I may be a bit biased.)

As expected, the list was filled with speedsters or guys who make little contact (Deer). Daulton stood out like a sore thumb as he wasn't THAT much of a whiff artist, but a decent power guy with, er, catcher speed. And how 'bout Melvin Mora being so high? The guy's coming from the RH side of the plate, a good hitter & not a speedster.

Gee, if only the Mets coulda had him as 2B the last few seasons. :)

My guess was Deer, since he hit everything in the air and stuck out in about a third of his ABs. Ichiro, of course, runs very well and bats leadoff, but I would have still thought he hit too many hard grounders.

Daulton always hit the ball in the air when he didn't whiff or walk, which was a huge percentage of the time.

I'm just surprised Cal wasn't listed among the worst - he was infamous ion these parts for doing just that...course we still loved him!!

Paul Konerko's numbers probably have a lot to do with hitting behind Frank Thomas and now Jim Thome. In 2005, with neither around, he hit into 10 DPs.

And of course Jim Rice, besides his natural tendency towards the GIDP, also had Wade Boggs on first base most of the time.

Yeah, the Boggs/Evans combo ensured a steady stream of slow guys standing on first base. Rice benefitted in the RBI column for that but suffered in the GIDP.
