YES YES YES.
Speed should be HOW FAST are you. It should be a component of basestealing, range (we know that is not the case though), beating gb, double plays advancing.
It should combine with BASERUNNING instincts.
If I have BOOG powell (SLOWWWWWW) and Willie Mays(FAST)
Boog should have low potential to ever be a great base stealer, and i likely would not try to stretch doubles into triples.
Willie may have low base stealing attempts for managers decision, a big bat behind him....but he should have the POTENTIAL to be basestealer, extra bases etc because of his raw speed.
Speed rating is randomly generated from the many many examples I have posted in the past. You can see hundreds of changes from 19 to 20.
