The Indians want Bourn to re-establish himself as a major base-stealing threat this season, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Bourn is just 33-of-51 on stolen-base attempts through two seasons with the Indians, after swiping at least 40 bags each year from 2008 to 2012. While he recently turned 32, there's still some hope for a revival, given that Bourn's balky hamstring was a major factor in his lack of base-stealing success last season. A return to the days of 40-60 steals is overly optimistic, but an improvement on last season's 10 shouldn't be difficult, assuming Bourn stays reasonably healthy.
