Empty the Bench

If you can stomach the overly cutesy introduction (just skip on down to the list), Brad Evans has a handy cheat sheet for the fantasy baseballers out there that lists his top 30 base stealers in Major League Baseball. Evans has New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes in the #1 slot, projecting 62 steals for the 2007 season:

Reyes has become the preeminent base stealer in the game today. The NL leader in swipes the past two seasons, the 24-year-old tire-squealer has totaled 124 steals since 2005. His dramatic 54-point rise in on-base percentage and discernable eye (54 walks) in ’06 arrows to another steals crown. Clearly the second best player in fantasy behind Albert Pujols this year, he’ll become the first person to reach the coveted 20-60 milestone since Rickey Henderson 17 years ago.
