Pitchers stealing bases

[cusefan74]

I'm sure managers don't want any pitcher trying to steal and risk some stupid injury.

Yeah, actually Tony Cingrani is 1 of the faster guys on the Reds, and he can steal a base. He actually has before. Leake also runs pretty well, but not sure he has ever stole a base.


If this is a rare occurance its probably fine, but if its something that's more than that then Id say its a problem.




I have noticed players being more aggressive as a whole this year stealing. I always put steal aggressiveness at 10,but it seems fine at default this year.

Ervin Santana is fairly fast if i recall. But he wont be doing anything for a few months.

It could happen in failed hit-and-run situations... I think most questionable steal attempts are due to this.

You should be able to steal with Zach Duke pretty easily given his 99 speed rating.
