Re: Ovandy Suero having 51 steals — this has to be one of the craziest stats in minor league ball. Seriously. No one else in the florida league has more than 22, as near as I can tell, no one in ANY minor league division has more than 31, except him. Also odd is that while he’s hitting /307 with an OBP of .378, he’s only slugging .330 (not a misprint), with 5 doubles and no triples/HR among his 65 hits. Those are Vince Coleman-like numbers. But he’s 25, so who knows if he’ll ever end up in the majors.
