    Speed of some Red Sox

    Hey guys
    I am a huge Red Sox fan and follow the team from down here in GA and noticed a few things about speed for some of the players. Now this is just something I've had an issue with, but it doesn't really effect me a ton. Obviously David Ortiz is slow, but his speed is at 0 in my 4th game lol. 0? I think my 6 month old can move faster than 0 speed. Maybe like 8-10 would be good? Dustin Pedroia is someone who I feel is a little under valued at 60 I think. I don't think it should be much higher, but he steals about 20 bases a year so maybe 65-70? Brock Holt is my main gripe. He has 58 speed. He's slower than both Pedroia AND Hanley Ramirez. He lead the team in stolen bases in spring and watching him play I feel like he's one of the faster players on the team. Would it be warranted if I moved his speed up to, say, mid to high 70s? I want to be realistic but he is much faster than this game says he is. Just a thought, I am sure other teams have this issue.

    I also made a thread griping about Papi's speed. I had him on 2nd yesterday. And with a ball off the CF wall (DEEP part of the park), he barely and I mean BARELY (to where I thought he was out), made it home. And yeah, I also agree Pedey and Brockstar should be a touch higher too. Maybe they'll address this for Monday and going forward.

      The new roster still has the speed at the same as when the game came out. I'm gonna leave Pedroia but I'm changing Papi to 10 and Brock to 77.

        Stolen bases doesn't necessarily mean a player is fast

          I steal with guys like Rollins regularly. I think he has 58 speed. Anything over 55 is enough to swipe a bag in the right circumstances in The Show. Once you get to 75 speed and stealing ability, you're in the elite category, I think.

          My sense is that with The Show, anything over 50 is better than average, so "plus" in scout speak.

            Yeah I hit a lot of gaps with Ortiz and can never make it to 2nd lol. I might give it a bump to 5-10 since my sliders lower runner speed to 4. Makes 0 more like -5.
