as mjj55409 pointed out above...the first CS data is barely above 50% success...it just looks wierd to us being so used to the modern game where stolen base pct's are much better.

Mine were way out of whack, at least for my liking. I know there is going to be a ton of attempts, but I think it was way too many. I explained it a bit here:

Just to recap that thread, Im playing as the Highlanders in 1903. At GAME_STEAL_SUCCESS of 100 and a steal setting of "very often", Willie Keeler was on pace for 87 SB's, when he should have no more than say 30-40 tops. In RL Weeler stole 24 in 1903, had a career high of 67 in 1896, but from 1903 oon, the 24 he stole in 1903 was the highest he had (other seasons of 24, 21 , 19, 23, etc....Even in 1902 he only stole 19 bases. After the changes, with 2 weeks to go in the season, Keeler is now on pace for only 45 SB's and 23 CS. The 45 may still end up a bit high, but thats because I didnt make the changes until after the 1st month of the season when he already had 15 SB's.
Another guy I looked at was Harry Bay. Bay has a "running speed" of 10 and a steal rating of 8 (1-10 scale), but at the end of May, Bay had 17 SB's and 19 CS, and was on pace for 57 SB's and 63 CS. Thats way to many in my eye. After the changes, he settled down to a project 54 SB's and 47 CS. Stil lnot great, but much better than before. Im looking to get into the 55%-60% range,which I think is close now with the changes I made
