I'm gonna go ahead and bet the under on that one. Once these stars sign big contracts, they usually abandon the base-stealing side of their game to ensure their longevity.

Bullshit. I challenge you to come up with one example where a 40/40 guy signed a big contract and then failed to even steal 20 bases ever again...whose name doesn't rhyme with Oriano.

It's a very short list of 40-40 ballplayers:
Canseco
Bonds
ARod
Soriano
I'm sticking to my guns on this one, but I never said Kemp would never steal 20 again.
