minus-square@average650MlinkEnglish2•2 years agoInteresting choice. Speed isn’t usually that highly valued I thought. I guess we’ll see.

minus-square@average650MlinkEnglish2•2 years agoSure that’s true. But I always thought speed, while it matters for defense, doesn’t matter as much as most people think. I mean, look at Cal Ripken, or Andruw Jones. Not fast, but elite fielders.
