Yeah, that's pretty terrible logic fred. The main problem is that you are trying to compare teams that were built for pretty different styles of play. Also, you're disregarding the fact that good baserunners had the green light to steal under Francona. The Red Sox just didn't have many good baserunners during Francona's tenure. Your vision is clouded because you dislike the guy, and you dislike him for all the wrong reasons.
Also, Madodn isn't that good.
