Is this guys for real? Impressive numbers, but in the 9 years it took him to finally stick in the big leagues, he NEVER came close to putting up numbers like that! One year wonder or not???
it becasue he has never done it. I mean sure he did last year, but in the 9 years prior, nothing! Not even a glimpse of stardom ... them Poof .. we have this Podsednick following. If he repeats 2003, Loiaza too ... I'll eat my hat ...
I think that his sbs could drop off significantly. Though he stole a bunch last year, he isn't really that fast. He stole so much because of his intelligence. Pitchers and catchers are now more aware that this guy will be trying to steel often. I still think he will have a good year and will be a good fantasy OF, but perhaps 30 swipes instead of 40 IMO.

I dont think this guy will steal many bases cause i dont think he will get on base that much. I think the drop will be a big one. This year´s Mark Bellhorn.
