It's almost comical how I find new ways to wreck these. Almost.
So I go through eight boxes, only mildly annoyed at falling back on Bahnsen when I know there are better options. (Double-checked one later on. Ah, well.) And then I get to the Astros thieves.
I convince myself that using answers that were give the last time we had this category would be like cheating, because I'd only be using other people's work. (I never limit myself this way. No idea what I was thinking.) Then I sorted through various 1980s and before options, but I chickened out because I was all "am I REALLY sure, though? (I should have been. One had a 40 SB year.)
Finally, I decided to be a complete coward and plop for Cedeno. Then I flashed on ROGER Cedeno, whom we threw into the Mike Hampton trade that I hated.
(Albeit that was mostly about Hampton turning around after only one year as a Met and running out on a pennant-winning team and the Pitchers' Paradise that was Big Shea to get his Rocks knocked off in Coors, for nothing but some cheap cash, Hamp's lame attempt to blame his decision on That FABULOUS Denver School System aside. Still a sore spot, obviously.
[Even though the compensation pick we got was used to draft David Wright, so clearly Hamp did us a mountain of a favor.])
Roger stole 66 bases one year, I recalled! However I failed to recall that the 66SB were with
us, and Rog broke his hand in Space City, holding him to a mere half season and 25 thefts. (He rebounded to steal 55 more in 2001, but he'd left Houston by then.)
And so 4 becomes 104. GAAAAA! KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!
