My projected starters, vs Speed:

Slow = 10
Average = 20
Above Average = 30
Fast = 40
Blazing fast = 50
+5 = between 2 ratings

This Year:
C Ty Ross - 15
1B Mason Katz - 25
2B Jacoby Jones - 40
3B Christian Ibarra - 25
SS Alex Bregman - 35
LF Raph Rhymes - 20
CF Chris Sciambra - 40
RF Mark Laird - 45
Team average - 30.625 +/- 2.5 with DH included

Last Year:
C Ty Ross - 15
1B Mason Katz - 25
2B Jacoby Jones - 40
3B Tyler Hanover - 25
SS Austin Nola - 20
LF Raph Rhymes - 20
CF Arby Fields - 35
RF Alex Edward - 20
Team Average: 22.5 +/- 2.5 with DH included

McMullen - 35
Stevenson - 35
Moore - 25
(I am unfamiliar with McMullen's and Stevenson's speed. I've read on TD that they're both burners. Above average to fast range is where I will currently rank them until I get feedback.)

DH has the potential to be someone average like Tyler Moore, all the way up to someone fast like Stevenson or McMullen.

Bregman will be faster than Nola, Ibarra will be the same or faster than Hanover, DH will have the potential to be faster, Sciambra will be faster in Center field, and Laird/McMullen/Stevenson will be an upgrade at RF.

The way I see it, we upgraded speed at SS, CF, RF, possibly 3B, possibly DH, while getting slower at no positions. If CPM puts another new kid in LF and puts Raph as DH the team has the potential to add a little more defensive speed.

Disclaimer: These are my opinion. I don't have a list of 40 times, but I read a lot about the team. I welcome different opinions, I'm just trying to break down the team speed numerically. I will adjust based off of feedback.
