Here are some random observations about his career stats.
- When I look at his Baseball-Reference page, the first thing that jumps out at me is HOLY COW he has led the league in caught stealing 7 times! Last year, he led with 17 CS and had only 27 steals. That's a very poor 61% success rate.
- He's got more career stolen bases than he does walks. Here are the guys to do that, ranked my most plate appearances:
You know what's a really good thing to do before attempting to steal?
