Should Kolten Wong's stolen-base attempts be limited?

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong has been touted as the total package since his selection in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft. The Hawaiian can hit, field, run, and has baseball smarts. Wong's all-around ability makes him a throwback to the Whiteyball era. He generates value in every facet of the game, just like Willie McGee or Tommy Herr.

But one of Wong's skills has been lacking so far in 2015: base-stealing.

In his college days, nobody would have confused Wong with John Robbie—he was not that skilled a thief.
