Should 27 should be in the sentence "he also stole at Triple-A making it 50 steals for the year between the minors and the big leagues"?

Anyway, good write up

Indeed - I will edit this in just a minute. Anyone want to save me some time and find out where he played Triple-A? I don't know the Giants farm system

Just a note - Davis actually stole 22 bases in 190 AB last year. He stole that 23rd base in 14 AB with the Pirates in 2006. I'm guessing this was just an accidental statistical hiccup, but you need to make sure to check your facts so the results of your analysis aren't inaccurate/skewed. I also edited to include that he stole those bases between his time in SF and PIT, and not all in one place. You live and learn in this field, but just make sure to check your facts closely in the future. Otherwise, its a great piece man
