Be willing to bet Votto is on the list, probably Trout

The others don't make the cut. Votto would be #1 (he had a .474 OBP in 2012) but fell just short of qualifying that year.

Those are just ridiculous OBPs. How about Goldschmidt? Helton? Harper?

They really are! Goldy's best was .435 - also awesome but not in the top 5.

Helton, Betts and Papi are great guesses but a bit further down the list.

Only #1 remains...

It's going to be someone early, not late, in the period. I've been over everyone who it could be since 2010 and everyone I can think of is either named or guessed already. I'll say ARod, but I don't think he would have walked enough and his really big BA years were pre 2004. Same for ManRam.

You're probably right. Maybe one of the Cabreras, Melky or Miguel.

Still no... Giambi had some great OBP years but they were earlier.

Is it a trick question? Is it post-2004 Bonds?

Yep, not a trick question. I'm surprised no one has guessed it.

OK let's go through the 90s rookie cards and apply logic here.
Ortiz, already guessed.
Rolen, no chance.
Vlad, no chance.
A. Jones, no chance.
Beltran, no chance.
A. Rod, already guessed.
Jeter, no chance.
Helton, already guessed.
Manny, already guessed.
Lofton, no chance.
Nomar, Some really high BAs but I doubt enough walks.
IRod, no chance.
Bagwell. Hmmmm. I wouldn't have thought so, but maybe one outlier season? I'll guess him.
C. Jones. Hmmmm. He did have that one late batting title with a big number. I'll guess him too.
Did I miss someone, I know the RCs pretty well?

Peter, you got it. It's Chipper Jones. .470 OBP in 2008.

Well done everyone!
