I go back and forth on this. Usually I want OBP and platoon match-up advantages over pure speed one-dimensional types -- but yes, of course, I prefer speedier guys who offer both OBP and match-up. It's a teamwide construct, some will, some won't, they play roles, which has the value? And, what does one value most in the given team/league context? It's all just a trade-off between speed and these other elements of offense in a small ball park (large parks moot on this question).
