Pirate fans.. Sanchez?

Punting my middle infield in the draft, he's saved my butt this year, but my question is, does the guy have SB potential or is it because he's batting ahead of Bay, he's just not getting the go signal? Or arre the Pirate coaches conservative on the bases? Or is he slow?

I don't need Carl Crawford #s, I'm just wondering if he might get a few more as the year goes on?

He hasn't been hitting ahead of Bay (did today only because J. Wilson wasn't in the line-up). Typically, he has hit 6th this year.

I don't see him as much of a SB threat. Maybe a handful, but I wouldn't be looking forward to more than 4-5. Just sit back and enjoy the average and decent run/RBI numbers.

I guess it's asking too much to hope a pickup to to be a 5 tool stud.

In runs, rbis, avg. and obp. he's been golden for me considering he cost me nothing. And with Pujols and Crawford, I can make up the power and speed gap.

Ever since I've had him, I thought I was just riding an average player on a hot streak, but the kid just keeps on hitting and it's starting to make me think he's really as good as he's playing.
