Fowler notched another double in a 1 for 2 outing against the D-Backs. He also scored a run and racked up 3 walks, raising his OBP to a staggering .404.
Spin: Fowler's OBP is 19th-best in the Majors right now, and it's that type of dominance that probably led John Elway to select him with Broncos' 7th round selection. "F--- Peyton Manning," Elway, the Broncos' GM, was quoted as saying. "Fowler is a real American. I'm saying this with my eerie, All-American smile, goddamnit."
Fowler was quoted after the game as saying that he was looking for walks to save his legs for the upcoming Broncos' mini-camps.
Extra Spin: If you think Elway selected purely on athletic ability, you're beginning to understand just how much of a berserker Fowler is. You're also missing the business side of this: Elway is worried that Fowler's continued peacocking in MLB will undercut Broncos' ticket sales in the Fall, just like Elway himself undercut the Packers' defense.
