Absolutely NOT. He is an excellent baseball player. He makes amazing catches in the outfield and is an amazing lead off hitter. He is the first player in franchise history to hit the 30-30 mark for home runs and stolen bases in one season. He has set multiple records for stolen bases. He recently won the comeback player of the year after breaking his ribs last season, and he also came in second place for the MVP player of the year. He is clearly an amazing baseball player and a perfect match for the Red Sox.
Vince Coleman, who played in the major leagues from 1985 to 1997, is the only player of baseball's modern era to accomplish that feat. He stole 110 bases during his rookie season with the St. Louis Cardinals, and then stole 107 in 1986 and 109 in 1987. He is the only player in baseball history to steal 100-plus bases in each of his first three seasons. He was the last person to steal 100 bases in a season (in 1987) and ranks sixth all time with 752 career steals.
