I hope your kidding!

Mike Piazza in his prime was getting stole on 110+ times a year. Joe Mauer between 25-50. Thats atleast 60 extra bases a year not even including passed balls and wild pitches. What other position can have that much impact?

Im not even going to get into to a guy like Varitek who knows how to handle pitchers better than anyone in the game.
