Red Sox on the Base Paths

YanksFan SoxFan notes the Red Sox are doing everything well on offense this season, including running the bases:

The Red Sox are tied with the league lead with a +22 stolen base differential and lead in stolen base percentage. Meanwhile, the Sox already lead the league in batting, on-base percentage and total bases. So the Sox are not only reaching base more than anyone else, they're taking extra bases better than anyone else, as well.

This is due mostly to three players. Ellsbury, Crisp and Pedroia are yet to be caught. The players who can steal run a lot, the players who can't don't, and they still have to figure out what to do with Lugo. That's exactly how a team should use their running game.
