This one comes from real-life friend Scott.

Context: Jose Reyes used to play for the Mets and this year he’ll play for the Marlins. In 2011, he stole 39 bases overall, including eight against the Braves, seven against the Phillies, four against the Marlins and one against the Nationals. The Mets threw out 21 percent of baserunners in 2011, tied for third worst in the Majors, and allowed 121 steals, 10th most out of 30 clubs*. Reyes gets hurt sometimes.

*- For what it’s worth: Not only did Diamondbacks catchers combine for an .831 OPS in 2011 — second best of any team, trailing only the Rangers — but they threw out a league-leading 41-percent of would-be basestealers and allowed the fewest steals. Miguel Montero started 131 games behind the plate for Arizona, but I’m willing to give all the credit to Henry Blanco.
