Whilst playing MLBPP on my friends Wii I noticed something odd. Robinson Cano had 4 stolen bases and has the same run speed as Eric Byrnes, who stole 51 bases! Ian Kinsler stole 23 bags and has D run speed. And James Loney has A run speed! Is there any explanation for this?

This is definitely true, but:

Have you checked their special abilities? That's probably the key here.

Special abilities can't possibly make a 47 stolen base difference on the same run speed though...

I'm sure they can.

And besides, even in real life, two players can have similar speed, but different stolen base numbers. For instance, JJ Hardy is a shortstop and is decently fast. And yet, he only has 8 career steals

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

I find it ironic that you bring this up, because Cano is usually regarded as a low-hustle player in real life, while Byrnes is considered a high-hustle player.

I know this post is not exactly current, but just want to mention that I appreciate it. I only recently noticed that James Loney has A speed, and I just don't remember him being a fast player. Maybe he was expected to be fast back in '08.
