I haven't looked at all the player ratings but I would think it would be hard to find a better base stealer than Justin Christian. :shock:

Good find LMB. He's perfect for a pitchers park vs. LHP:

[size=18:900b7b7bec]16.5 [/size:900b7b7bec]doubles.
0 k's.
+4 clutch

Pair him in left with Rajah Davis - *2-8/- (20-16) - and you're good to go for a buck and a half.

I'm using Christian in a LF platoon with Josh Anderson in a pitcher's park.

yeah, he's got the Highest "Stealing Pct" in the card set (.63) Lousy OB however. Raj Davis is right behind him (.61).

The next closest after those two is Tavares with .44.

The highest guy with a decent OB one side or the other is Pierre (.37)

The first guy with decent OB both ways is Reyes (.33)

In 1991 there was Alex Cole who had a jump rating, I think, better than Christian AND had good OB both ways. I had him in my FTF league and he stole 21 bases in 18 games! :shock: That would translate to 189 steals in 162 games! :D 8-)
