Then again, Pete's 4 of 8 is only marginally better.

That sure starts to smell like a coaching issue, doesn't it? 7 SBs in 15 attempts by guys as fast as those two just reeks of awful technique.
They don't get very good jumps, which to me, is a coaching/experience issue.

I've always felt guys who were just fast aren't great basestealers because they rely on it to much and don't develop any instincts with it.
