XBT% does not appear to take into account the outs a runner makes attempting to take an extra base and consequently cannot be looked at in isolation. I'm sure running into outs on the bases would (and should) have a very negative effect on your running rating in DMB.
XBT% doesn't take into effect Outs On Base, and Andrus does rank quite highly on that list (tied for 6th in AL with 10 times, AL leader was Carl Crawford with 13). Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere OOB is normalized by opportunities so it exists just as a raw number.
