I think he had 70 steals in AA last year. That's pretty sweet.

Yes but his attempts were high and success rate was ok
[Edit- actually I was referencing 2010; as you said, last year he had a great year stealing bases and was caught only 15 times, my bad]. Nonetheless, he is a speedster and if his bat improves, he will be Crawford-like. He may take over CF next year or two providing his at bats improve.
I think AA re-traded Wallace for Gose. In 2-3 years time, with the addition of Hechavarria (maybe at second), Jays may well be an even faster team on the bases. Wild prediction next year: Lind may be traded and finally Snider gets to play as a regular but on first.
Though, it was only spring training, speedy Gose stole 2nd, third and home in the same inning.
