2010 ZiPS Projections - Philadelphia Phillies
Outside of the need for additional catching depth, another solid reliever or two, and somehow eliminating the amplitude of the frustrating sine wave that is Brad Lidge's career, the Phillies should remain a solid team in 2010, though this isn't exactly going out on a limb considering the World Series appearances.The farm system is a bit on the weak side at this point as the Phils cashed in quite a few prospects, but the front-line talent on the major-league squad is strong enough to buy the system enough time to recover. The only pressing concern is keeping Lee long-term, a must after he conclusively demonstrated that 2008 was no fluke season. It's pretty amazing to have reached that point in 2 years; in the 2008 ZiPS, which pegged Lee at a very average 11-10, 4.63, the general consensus was that ZiPS was being extremely charitable.
Philly's not invincible, but an awful lot would have to go wrong for the team to not be the favorite in the division in 2010

Performances have not been allocated to predicted playing time in the majors - many of the players listed above are unlikely to play in the majors at all in 2009. ZiPS is projecting equivalent production - a .240 ZiPS projection may end up being .280 in AAA or .300 in AA, for example. Whether or not a player will play is one of many non-statistical factors one has to take into account when predicting the future. Players are listed with their most recent teams unless Dan has made a mistake. This is very possible as a lot of minor-league signings are generally unreported in the offseason. ZiPS is projecting based on the AL having a 4.46 ERA and the NL having a 4.41 ERA. Players that are expected to be out due to injury are still projected. More information is always better than less information and a computer isn't what should be projecting the injury status of, for example, a pitcher with Tommy John surgery. Positional offense is ranked by RC/27 and divided into quintiles based on what the most frequent starting players at each position did in 2007-2009. Excellent is the top quintile, Very Good the 2nd quintile and so on.

Maybe directly following the Pirates accentuates the effect.
He's listed under John Mayberry, Jr. :) Look at the OPS+ 83 area.
Utley's career 177-21 SB-CS ratio looks odd. He's at 83-11 so that would be 94-10 the rest of his career. He's a good and smart baserunner, but I wouldn't bet on that. A freak show stat - but is there anybody in MLB history with greater than 175 SB and less than 25 CS?
Thanks,

Dan got him confused with some Panamanian dude in the stands.
After a quick search using Lee Sinins' Complete Baseball Encyclopedia CD-ROM, I came up with this list:
CAREER
1951-2009
CAUGHT STEALING <= 30
STOLEN BASES SB CS
1 Pokey Reese 144 26
2 Henry Cotto 130 26
3 Jacoby Ellsbury 129 23
4 Eric Byrnes 128 23
5 Michael Bourn 121 25
T6 Shane Victorino 109 29
T6 R.J. Reynolds 109 29
8 Aaron Boone 107 30
9 Kaz Matsui 101 17
10 Jackie Robinson 97 30
If you go higher in terms of attempts, Tim Raines at 84.7% is the all-time record holder for 400+ attempts. And 500+ and 600+ and 700+ and 800+ and 900+ ... his totals were 808-146.
If you go to 1000+, Rickey leads at 80.8%. However, only two of the four men with 1000 attempts played during the time period when CS were recorded. Brock is the other one.
