is SHANE VICTORINO THE FASTEST PLAYER IN BASEBALL?

[gametime_365]

I thought it was Fernando Perez, pinch runner used by Tampa a couple games back against Boston. That kid can run faster than the flying Hawaiian.

:think2:

Brett Gardner from the yankees is white lightning

 

[smartz]

the werth thing is pretty funny tho no way hes the fastest

why? werth is an athlete. Straight line speed is alot different than quickness.

 

[freepicks+]

reyes said it himself, gomez is faster than he is. gomez twins is the fastest in the majors. victorino, werth? come one. They are life long minor guys.

I never said Werth was the fastest in the MLB. This thread is named: Is Shane Victorino the fastest player in baseball?, and all I said was he is not even the fastest player on his team. So how could he possibly be the fastest player in the MLB? Werth is faster then Victorino, but I am not saying Werth is the fastest in baseball.

I would say it's either Vlad or Ortiz, maybe Fielder.

Not much talk here about Willy Taveras but he led the major leagues in stolen bases stealing 68 out of 75 attempts while only playing 124 games. Inumerable infield hits plus many bunt hits. Should definitely be in the conversation.

I forgot about taveras, i read somewhere he is the fastests from the plate to first, but wasnt the fastest rounding the bags or on a longer run or something like that.

false werth is not faster than victorino close but hes not

 

[eeks]

not even close, the Giants got 2 guys that are waaaaay faster than that guy, 1 is Euenio Velez back up 2nd baseman who had like 35 SB in spring training last year and a new guy who might make the team this year as outfielder last name Torres, might be fastest guy i ever seen

If there's anyone faster than Gardner of the Yanks I want to see it.

Any love for Nook Logan?

How fast does brett gardner run?
In: New York Yankees [Edit categories] [Edit]

[Edit]
Very fast! Baseball players are ranked on a 20-80 scale for speed. 20 being slowest and 80 being fastest. Brett Gardner is ranked 80.

 

[take2amphittoright]

Last year when Gardner came up I saw him play and I never saw anyone get from 1st to 2nd any faster. I said holy shit. The Yanks want him in the leadoff spot but he only hit .228 with 13 sb, thrown out once in 42 games. He almost beat out a ground ball to the first baseman. He is having a good spring .379 (11-29) with 3 sb's and has had some pop in his bat. The outfield may be a little crowded but anything is possible including him in AAA. Fantasy players might want to take a look at his cheap price I know I certainly am.

Denard Span has some speed too...

 

[douglas]

Gomez for twins. .............he is faster then half the cars in the parking lot .

 

[MackDonald]

Gomez isn't fast; he is real fast.

 

[take2amphittoright]

Gardner is a step above fast, and real fast.
