Not a chance. People don't run as much anymore, mostly because there is a better understanding of the costs.

I agree. The game has changed - from one that is based on small ball and base to base movement, to a game that is in loved with the long ball. Jose is going to have a great career, if he stays healthy. He will, however, not come close to breaking Rickey's all-time SB mark.

The lockerroom is a bit crowded with some other clutter at this moment.

Agreed. No chance he makes that far. Reyes is good but he cant do what Henderson did nor do it as long as Henderson did it.

Ricky Henderson could still steal bases in MLB.

Reyes already has 250 or something like that. If he can steal 80 bases for the next 6 years, he'll have 730. Maybe he gets 40 a year from ages 30-34. That's 200 more. He'd have to then get a few hundred on top of that over the next 5+ seasons.

It's possible, but pretty damn tough. Reyes would have to be a consistantly excellent base stealer for the next 15 years, without getting hurt.

Probably not going to happen.
