this is the 2nd year i have him on my team... i love the guy... last year he was a pleasant surprise... this year i went after him and got him cheap... this guy can flat-out play...
I don't think anyone really expected this...he's ranked at #17 overall on Yahoo right now (and their in season rankings are usually pretty good on hitters). He's making solid contributions across the board with very good run totals and HUGE stolen base totals.
Can he keep it up? Who knows...but as other people have mentioned the Reds won't be putting the breaks on him.
Always hard to say if basestealers will keep it up. Often, as it gets hotter and players get tired or injured, they will sometimes slow down considerably. But as people already mentioned, they let the guys run in Cincy, so there is high liklihood that this will continue.

please dont use yahoo rankings as an adequte way of evaluting players....its just too flawed. ive asked for years if there was some type of actual formula or if it was completely random because sometimes it just seems like it is....
got felipe lopez and turnbow in a deal for brian roberts, benitez, and todd jones...what a steal right.

Yahoo's in season rankings on hitters is fairly good. It's the O-Ranking that I question quite a bit. They put way too much emphasis on position scarcity for my liking. The in season ranking isn't perfect but at least in this case I think it's pretty accurate.
