I believe that our lack of any base stealing is both personnel related, and philosophy related. The guys that actually have speed, don't get on base and when they do, it's the wrong situation to attempt a steal. It's also just not something that this coaching staff wants to do. It never has been. As far as Buxton...sure, he has the speed to steal, but his base stealing fundamentals and especially his sliding fundamentals/techniques, are terrible. Every time he slides it's an injury waiting to happen. The league may be stealing more, but we won't be.
