that's a fallacy. Revere only buys more fastballs if teams think he's ACTUALLY going to steal, but HE'S NOT STEALING, so that all goes out the window.
why he isn't stealing is beyond me. a perfectly good weapon that Gibbons refuses to use. don't just have him steal second, have him steal third as well and if the other team wants to walk someone that just means more RBI chances for the jays.
