Guerrero not looking for free pass

Vladimir Guerrero's swing-at-everything style has been well documented over the years, but his aggressive approach this season has been excessive even by his standards.

Guerrero enters tonight's game, the Orioles' final one in April, without a walk in 100 plate appearances. He is the first non-pitcher in team history to not have at least one walk during that time. He also is the only qualifying player in the majors without a walk this season.

The standard to qualify is 3.1 plate appearances per team game. The Chicago White Sox's Brent Morel also does not have a walk in 71 plate appearances, but he doesn't qualify because Chicago has played 27 games.

Guerrero walked 35 times last season in 643 plate appearances for the Texas Rangers.
