I typically set my manager option to "conservative" for stolen bases and then set individual players settings to "steal more" for those who are serious threats on the basepaths. This has usually given me a success rate between 75% and 80% for the season. Is there anyone who can tell me how much of a drop I should expect in my success rate, if I was to change the team stolen base option from "conservative" to "normal?" I am trying to ascertain whether the increased risk is reasonable since I am currently playing in RFK and would like to manufacture a few more runs.

After 42 games my team is 38-9 with an aggressive rating. That is with J.Pierre only 5-4 but he is held a lot. So my only AA is 5-4 and my four A's and rest of the team is 30-5. I have As and AA 'stealing more' setting. Take it for what it's worth.
