Lopes was an underrated part of the Phillies successful mini run they had.

Was just gonna post that he was good while he was in philly. And 5 division titles in a row is a little more than mini in my book. If only this rebuild was mini. Or 5 years.

Well they didn’t really start a rebuild until 2014, so 5 years would put them at 2019. If a lot of these young guys perform like many think they can, they should be in contention by then.

That’s tough to argue conclusively. Yes, Lopes seemed to get some really great baserunning out of the peak-years Phillies, but he also was coaching some of the best base-stealers in history in Rollins and Utley, another speedster in Victorino, and a not-bad-running Jayson Werth also.
Lopes’ record as a 1B coach is kind of mixed, outside of those years:
2003 Padres: 19th in SB, 25th in SB%
2004 Padres: 27th in SB, 20th in SB%
2005 Padres: 9th in SB, 18th in SB%
2006 Nationals: 23rd in SB, 21st in SB%
2007 Phillies: 4th in SB, 1st in SB%
2008 Phillies: 4th in SB, 1st in SB%
2009 Phillies (Rollins’ injury year): 7th in SB 1st in SB%
2010 Phillies (Utley’s first injury year): 10th in SB, 1st in SB%
2011 Dodgers: 10th in SB, 8th in SB%
2012 Dodgers: 17th in SB, 23rd in SB%
2013 Dodgers: 17th in SB, 11th in SB%
2014 Dodgers: 2nd in SB, 12th in SB%
2015 Dodgers: 26th in SB, 26th in SB%
