SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Playing to win is different from playing not to lose.
Vince Coleman intends to help the Giants maintain the former approach more often in 2017.
Coleman, one of the most preeminent basestealers ever, has joined the Giants as a roving Minor League baserunning and outfield coach. Before he begins visiting outposts such as Sacramento, Richmond and the organization's other Minor League affiliates, the Giants want him to share his baserunning expertise with the big leaguers during Spring Training.
"In this day and age, guys have been taught how not to run the bases," Coleman said Saturday.
