I know it can be frustrating when a runner does not try to steal, but I worry about this turning into something a human player can exploit with too little penalty.
IRL, if a manager puts the steal sign on (as opposed to giving a guy a green light), he had better take off at the pitch or he'll be in pretty big trouble. If there are a lot of throws over to first, a manager could take the steal sign off, but if he doesn't, the runner will attempt to steal.
