He's quietly putting together a good season, can we expect him to keep up this pace with the stolen bases? He's currently on pace to put together a 20/20 season with 100 rbi. Is he on the same level as guys like Corey Hart/Jason Werth?

Funny you write this tonight, as I was just checking him out. Check his stats from this year (incl. tonight) and include last year's 2nd half.
FanGraphs had a nice write up on him this week and I am going to give him a shot on my squad.
Can't believe this guy is available in leagues. He has great discipline at the plate, can steal, now bats in the 4 hole and scores runs. His average wasn't great at the beginning, but that was because he was being a bit too patient. Now he is mixing in a good eye with aggressiveness. I look for this guy to have a 20/25 year.
Just dropped Delgado for him in a league where my one DL spot is occupied and my only other bench player is the suspended Manny. Dude's on base was .414 before today--seems to me like he is for real. He was a guy I was targeting preseason because of the discipline he showed last year, and if he continues to hit in the four hole you have yourself a cheap 20/20 player.
