Check out the interview. This guy knows his shit ! Sounds like the Sox made a great hire with this guy.

Commented in the don't be pussies thread about this. I agree bring that attitude and enthusiasm to our players on the field please.

Good interview. Would like to hear from him every couple of weeks during the season if that is possible.

I could run a 4.5 40 after listening to that interview.

As long as he doesn't provide tips on playing the outfield....he sucked!

He was better at that than getting out of the way of the tarp machine.

Didn't hear it, but as a former Cardinal, he probably conducted the interview The Right Way.

Will his 1st lesson be always aware of tarps?

Wasn't that when he was on the Mets getting on the team bus after a game at Wrigley?

Let me teeach you how to steal a base and go first to 3rd...

First, be real fast!
Next, steal the bases!

Always very tough for guys with superior ability to teach guys how to do things. Not saying he cant, but didnt the Astros get rid of Coleman as 1B coach? Many times guys like coleman just like to be around the game, they dont end up being great coaches. Many , many , many guys fit that bill....jury is still out on Hinske as an example.

About Hinske: So the Cubs are cool with guys who only abuse the outside of their bodies (Hinske's Tats) but not the inside (Sammy)

Colorful character. Bernstein must have grave concerns about the optics of this hire.

--Was accused, with Dwight Gooden and Daryl Boston, of rape in April 1992. The case was eventually dropped for lack of evidence. Turns out that they, along with David Cone, had quadruple-teamed her and she later regretted it.
--Threw a lighted firecracker into a crowd of people at the Dodger Stadium parking lot. A young girl was hurt and Vince had to serve 200 hours of Community Service. (Eric Davis was driving the getaway car)
--As noted, missed the 1985 World Series after getting rolled up in the tarp machine
--Whacked Gooden with a golf club in the clubhouse. Gooden had to miss a start.

Wasn't David also accused of playing with his cone while sitting in the Met's bullpen one day?

Rickey Henderson and Tim Raines?

Raines is probably the best. Willie Wilson would be close. Coleman and Henderson are further down the line. They got caught a lot more. Then there are guys you may not consider base stealers who weren't/aren't as prolific but who almost never got/get caught, like Carlos Beltran and even Mike Trout.

1. Rickey Henderson

2. Lou Brock

3. Vince Colmeman

4. Tim Raines

Henderson stole 66 bases at 39 years old!

_________________

He could still probably get 40 a year if he was playing today. Rickey was definitely my favorite player growing up. Him and Griffey Jr. were one of a kind.

_________________

raines probably from a SABR perspective, but he never came close to coleman in attempts and he was on base way more often. If you told coleman to only pick his spots he'd a been 80 for 85. what does that prove? you gotta get 100 to be even in the conversation.

Nobody talks about it. But Henderson was a steroid guy. No doubt. It was an Oakland A's thing. Wasn't just Mcguire and Canseco.

Everyone talks about it.
