In my league, my 3rd baseman holds the career lead in stolen bases (the league is in it's 10th season but he is in his 7th). He has high a SB rating but his speed rating is only 53 out of 100. However, for his career he is averaging 64 stolen bases a year with a SB% of .700 (I am playing from 1901, we're now in 1910 but the game default is set for 55% I reckon). Last season he stole 83 bases and was caught 26 times. He does not get a lot of jumps with the normal "steal" option so I do force steal most of the time. I play out all games.

He may be an exception to the rule (high SB rating/middling speed). I haven't really checked the rest of the league.
