There are nine players who are currently either on a team's 25-man roster, DL, or restricted list who have been intentionally walked over 100 times in their careers. Name them.

Pujols is #1 with 284. Cabrera is #2 with 186. Ortiz is #4 with 175. Ryan Howard is #5 with 150. Adrian Gonzalez is #7 with 134. Joe Mauer is #9 with 108. I guess that because Abreu had been DFA'd, he wasn't on the list I got, but he was intentionally walked 115 times, and he has played this year, so I'll give you credit for that. Giambi has been intentionally walked only 97 times, and Arod 92. I thought they would've been intentionally walked more, too.

I'm curious to know if Adam Dunn is on your list?

Adam Dunn is on the list at #8 with 121. The only reason Abreu wasn't on the list was that he wasn't on any roster at the time I looked, and that was an oversight since I hadn't realized it then. I later looked up Alfonso Soriano, Eric Chavez, and Dan Uggla, and none of them had been intentionally walked 100 times.
Only #3 and #6 remain. #6 is probably one of the more obvious guys to be intentionally walked who hasn't been mentioned. #3 has only about three times as many unintentional walks in his career as intentional ones, and maybe twice if the IBB's are also counted in the BB total.

I'll guess Derek Jeter and Ryan Braun.

I'll guess Derek Jeter and Ryan Braun. Somehow, Derek Jeter only has 39 and Braun has 33. |

Ouch! I wasn't even close.
Okay, let's try Jason Giambi and Victor Martinez.

Out of 562 career walks, 178 were intentional, which puts him in third. He joined the 100 IBB club in his sixth MLB season. |

Hint for the last one remaining: If he gets intentionally walked three more times in his career, he will have double the intentional walks his dad did. It was pretty surprising to me that the dad was not in the 100 IBB club.

Your last clue pretty much gave it away. It has to be Prince Fielder. Good trivia question.
