"This guy (Benito Santiago) could be a pitcher -- that's how hard he throws. He cut down 23 of 62 base-stealers last season, and he's at his best throwing from the kneeling position; throwing that way, he nailed 10 of 26 felons and picked off five runners at first. Santiago threw out Howard Johnson so impressively two seasons ago that HoJo said without shame, 'I won't try stealing on Santiago anymore.'" - Inside Sports, February 1991
