I am skeptical, however, about his assumptions concerning the success rates of different groups of players. It isn't necessarily true that more stolen bases = more successful base stealer, percentage-wise. For instance, in the 5-15 steals range, I would expect to find some guys who are smart enough to only steal when it's a sure thing. They'd have fewer steals, but almost never be caught.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1263','Justin Murphy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1263','Justin Murphy','That\'s an impressive amount of research, and an interesting way of looking at the problem.
