San Francisco Giants: Who was the team’s last elite base stealer?

Earlier today, we published an article exploring veteran outfielder Jarrod Dyson as a potential free-agent target for the San Francisco Giants.

While the ultimate verdict was that he’s probably not what the team is looking for this winter, the idea of adding a top-tier base-stealing threat raised an interesting question.

When is the last time the San Francisco Giants had a truly elite base stealer?

Despite playing in a pitcher-friendly ballpark and rarely featuring a bona fide slugger in the everyday lineup, the Giants as a team have rarely been a threat on the bases.
