		<description><![CDATA[Interesting idea on the low number of competitive runs, but they both are in the mid 30 range for total number of runs at this point, so both guys have had a similar number of opportunities to flash their wheels. I do like how the number of below average runners the Jays have this year compared to the last few years, it is depressing watching a team full of guys who run like they have pianos tied to their backs. ; ) I think a cool upgrade to the statcast metric would be an acceleration value, as well as an average speed metric, this would give a more true measure of the players functional speeds all the time rather than just the maximum speed they are able to reach in small bursts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh don&#039;t apologize at all! I&#039;m happy to chat about anything I write and you brought up a really interesting point. For reference, Danny Jansen, who posted a 27.9 ft./s sprint speed graded as a 30 runner in FanGraphs&#039; prospect reports. DSJ  (26.4) graded out as a 55 (both on the 20-80 scale). Part of me wonders if given their limited action they haven&#039;t timed enough &quot;competitive runs&quot; and that&#039;s why Jansen looks fast and Smith Jr. slow? But I do totally agree with you - he&#039;s got a decent ability to make contact, but aside from that it seems like there would need to be a lot of skills improvement before he should be considered a starting option.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry if I came across as angry, gotta be a good polite Canadian now : ). I just find it puzzling that people keep mentioning DSJ as a possible future Jays outfield candidate, as he doesn&#039;t have any particularly good tools aside from a decent hit tool. He is slowish, has very little power, didn&#039;t look like a very good defender from limited viewings the last few years, and has a weak throwing arm to boot. Not sure where the potential lies with this guy really.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for reading! The Statcast data is surprisingly low but I based my comment on him being graded as an above average runner in prospect reports and that he has stolen as many as 25 bases in the minors before (although he&#039;s dipped into the teens in truncated high-level minor league seasons).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do you keep mentioning Dwight Smith Jr. as having good speed?  A quick glance as statcast sprint speed shows this to be anything but true, as he measures at a mediocre 26.4 ft/second. This is in fact below average!]]></description>
