October 18, 200718 yr Juan Uribe's stolen base "success" rate of .100 (1-for-10) in 2007 was the worst by far in White Sox history for a player with at least 10 attempts in a season. ... I couldn't find any player who was close to being this bad (10 SBA).
October 18, 200718 yr Juan Uribe excels at being bad at just about everything... so I'm sure the Sox will pick up his $5 million option.

October 18, 200718 yr I wonder what the worst stolen base percentage is for anyone over 10 attempts. probably 0 for whatever.
October 19, 200718 yr QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 18, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) I wonder what the worst stolen base percentage is for anyone over 10 attempts. probably 0 for whatever. In the history of Major League Baseball, since 1871, Uribe's dubious achievement has been exceeded by only 3 players with over 10 attempts. Zeb Terry of the 1921 Vermin went 1 for 13, Jose Vizcaino of the 1994 Mets and Eddie Yost of the 1957 Senators went 1 for 13. Our Juan was matched by Bobby Doerr, 1 for 10 with the 1939 Red Sox. By the way, Bobby Doerr is in the Hall of Fame. Thats it, out of 7,768 players who attempted 10 or more steals in years entering the 2007 season. The record for most caught steals with no success is Pete Runnels of the 1952 Senators, 0 for 10.

This off season he should have time to be in a little better shape than last year..... as your remember he spent a lot of time last year sitting waiting in the court room. Sitting around court rooms is not a quickness drill.
October 19, 200718 yr You can't always blame the manager for players playing badly. Seriously, why not tell Uribe to stop trying to steal bases. He has never been good at it. One out of ten, Wow. Way to get the most out of your talent Ozzie. STOP SIGN.
