His SB's are only valuable if Oakland lets him run. Typically, they don't.

they were 14th in the mlb in steals last year, i think they'll let him run a bit.

i still went with Beltran though.
But their SB% was way above average. Attempted steals still puts them near the bottom third.
I voted Holliday. I think you are still splitting hairs at this point so i went with the younger guy over Beltran.

Doesn't it make sense that their average would be higher if they were bottom 3rd in steals attempted. Seems logical to me.
Their success rate of 80%+ was unusually high compared to the norm which was around 70% Their SB totals were high because they had an unusually high success rate but as it normalize, the total should go down.
