I'd say not. I think OOTP has this right as of now. There's actually less correlation between speed and range irl than you'd think.

f.e. In the outfield Andruw Jones, Garry Maddox, Jim Edmonds etc. never had great speed as such but had legendary range.

Same for Jose Iglesias, Mark Belanger and Rey Ordonez as SS's. Not to mention 3Bmen like Brooks Robinson, Clete Boyer, Graig Nettles, Adrian Beltre etc.

There's certainly some correlation between speed and defensive range, but not so much as it might appear at first imo.
