    Logan VanWey has pitched 2 innings in both his appearances this spring. I wonder if they’re stretching him out?

    to give up on someone after 20 games in the big leagues is just stupid especially with all that speed. SMDH. At least we gave JD a few seasons.

    He wasn't the fastest but he was an amazing hitter.

    Gattis was sneaky fast. All of those 3-baggers don't lie

    Maldonado has a perfect stolen base record with the Stros. I'd vote for him.

    Hey, you don't lead the league in triples without some wheels!

    I don't think Mike Scott was that fast

    Forgot about Yelding too, was he fast, or was he just so skinny that he looked fast?

    Tony Scott. He was a very fast part time starting CF for the Astros in 1981-83 Couldn't hit that well so he was traded and replaced with Jeffrey Leonard (if memory serves)

    Yelding stole 59 bases one year and had blazing speed

    I remember Tony Scott, that was a joke.

    Yelding stole 64 bases (lead the league in CS with 25, Vince Coleman stole 77, Barry Bonds 52), and played 2+ more seasons and stole a grand total of 14 more bases
