Great question, curious about this as well. Lots of speed on this team now. Excited about the guy nobody's talking about - Bonifacio
I have visited for a game every year (at least) and watched our Sportsnet crew broadcast the team everyday...Don't miss too many. I love Buck M., and how can you not love Zuanny? Knows his shit
QUESTION - What is Gibs % stealing as a manager??? I've dug everywhere....
I see one of our top young MI, OF and a prospect going as a package, possibly for Upton?
AA is going off, and making every east team shit themselves. I still think more move will be made for pitching, but more than likely a couple for a strong arm He is not done from what I hear.
I really liked our speed prior. The dark horse is Buehrle, he is so good as a captain/ I've read lots on him, if he will gel with management, love him....QUALITY starts. Can't wait. Lots to be excited over, lots.

I don't have all the numbers for the Jays under John Gibbons but I did crunch the numbers for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons - the only three where Gibbons was manager all season. The Jays did not have much of a running team in any of those three seasons - Vernon Wells and Alex Rios were their speed guys.
2005 - 72 for 107 - 67%
2006 - 65 for 98 - 66%
2007 - 57 for 79 - 72%
As you can see, the Jays got less aggressive on the base paths each season under Gibbons, although I think that's more about personnel than anything. What's important is they never really got any more successful at running. I don't know if ~70% is a good success rate or not but hopefully that helps.
I just hope that Gibbons is able to recognize certain players strengths and play off those. Thats one of the responibilities of being a good Manager. Time will tell if Gibby is able to be that or just a mistake by AA.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I'm loving the speed as well...we've got a pretty solid team that, for the most part, can run well. Lawrie (albeit he just needs to be more disciplined), Rasmus, Encarnacion..guys that can pick their spots and steal a bag here and there.
As for Buehrle, the most important thing is that he doesn't be a huge party pooper about coming north of the border. I love what he can bring as a pitcher but if he's gonna be a negative nancy the whole time then he can go f himself.
Doesnt matter who manages that team. Guys like Reyes, Bonifacio, Davis(if hes around) all have the green light.
