3 pinch runners. first BS 19-15, running a 15, next BS 19-14 run 16, third 17-13, run a 17. would you go with the best base stealer, the fastest base runner, or the in between?

Depends on the hold ratings I might see.

or OF arm ratings? RP hold ratings r all over the place. have to assume most pinch running will be done towards the end of games....but then again we R dealing with HAL

You're right, OF arms as well, usually I concern myself with running speed not SB numbers. Often I feel like stealing is a real gamble period given HAL's propensity for bad choices. I just thought that stealing was what the question concerned. I might change series to series depending upon those 2 variables - hold ratings (including catchers arms) and OF arms.

To me pinch runners are more important for their speed more than their base stealing. So I love a 17 pinch runner who is at least decent stealing.

i'm going with the 17
