I've always used normal for baserunning and basestealing while checking steal more or do not steal on individual players. The team I'm playing against has a terrible catcher (a lot of SBs given up by this team) and not very good OFs (only Henderson - uses Bell for DH). Do I dare try aggressive baserunning or too risky? I was 16-8 against this team in the regular season, but 6-6 at home and trying to do something to get a spark on the home field particular.

If it was me I would go to aggressive on Base stealing for this series. You got a lot of speed on your team. A few of his pitchers have - hold ratings but they arent really intimidating at holding runners. With your sped, you have 4-5 guys who don't even need a good lead to steal.
Good luck!!

I would go with aggressive on the baserunning part (which I do on all teams anyways) but leave the stealing at normal . This way ,those who can steal will go and those who can't steal won't . With either catcher you should be able to take major advantage of it .
