Has anyone found a reason that he isn't stealing bases this season? He hasn't attempted a stolen base since June 24th! That is insane....

way too important middle of the order bat to take a chance getting hurt while stealing?"The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

He hits second, but i know what you mean and it makes little sense. Are the odds on getting hurt stealing that great that the premier base stealer over the last two seasons just quits running?Originally posted by cardboardbox View Post
If he has indeed quit running he is no longer heads and tails the best fantasy player. Oh he is still top 2 or 3, but the SB's are what separated him from the pack."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

He's has bulked up recently and is getting older. This is the general trend for ridiculously good but athletic hitters. They start with a bunch of steals, but the steals dry up really quickly when it becomes silly to risk injury on the basepaths for the marginal gain of an SB attempt. On top of that, the hitters behind him are hitting pretty well this year, so there is less need to steal. If he is no longer heads and tails the best fantasy player, who is in the conversation with him?Comment

Yes, he is getting older at the same rate as everyone else on this planet. One day per day. Stupid space/time continuum, can't do anything about it.Originally posted by wannabegriffey View PostComment
