I read it quickly. Thanks for the article. It is evidence but remember he didn't use that many players so it should be taken with a grain of salt. Also Henderson, Ichiro, and Raines (hopefully) are hall of famers, and Lofton is maybe a borderline HOFer. That's a big part of the sample I'm not sure comparing Bourn, Crawford etc to those players is a good way to look at it. With Bourn if he stops running wild, which he did, he's not a very good player. I do agree he fell off way faster than expected though, of course.
