Statistical Minutia

I’ve been toying around with an Angels-only prospect database that I’ve put together from a variety of sources, including Baseballreference.com, thebaseballcube.com, and firstinning.com.   Yeah, I know - us math teachers find bizarre ways to burn time in early August, but I’m very interested in comparing Halos' prospect performances over the past decade, or what could be called the "Stoneman-and-after-era."  I’ll make the fruits of my efforts (if you can call them that) available in the coming months, but in the meantime, here are some interesting facts that I’ve come across:

• Robb Quinlan leads all Halos’ farm hands of the last decade in intentional walks over a single season.  Opposing hurlers handed him 9 free passes during his ’01 campaign in AA Arkansas.
  
• Mike Campo "took one for the team" more times in a single season than any other farmhand this decade: he was plunked an astounding 40 times with the 2002 Quakes, propping up a very good .451 OBP.  90+% of Halos' prospects' single season stat lines don't include that many walks.
  
• Mike O’Keefe and Freddy Sandoval are tied for most "grounded into double plays" (GIDP) with 20 a piece, O’Keefe in the 2003 season for the AA Travs, and Sandoval for the AAA Bees in ’08.
  
• Jordan Renz leads all Halos in single season strikeouts since 2000, whiffing 178 times for the Kernels in 2006. He also hit 24 homeruns that season. Mike Napoli comes in second with 166 K’s in ’04 with the Quakes, but he also knocked 29 bombs that year. I won't hold the K's against either. 
  
• Adam Morrissey walked a farm-leading 92 times in 2007 with Arkansas.
  
• Alfredo Almezaga stole a decade most 73 bases as a 22-year-old with the 2000 High A Lake Elsinore club.
  
• Brandon Wood obviously hit the most bombs in a campaign with 43 in ’05.  Mike Napoli and Brandon Wood are tied for second most with 31, Naps with Arkansas in ’05,  and Wood with the Bee’s in ’08.  But a 26-year-old Jose Fernando had a memorable season with the 2001 Salt Lake Stingers, knocking 30 bombs and throwing up a mind-blowing 167 OPS+.  He never played pro-ball after that season.  Anyone have any idea why?

I'll  use the data for more relevant purposes in the future, but the minutia is fun.
