I disagree. Gamel has always been fast. Just so happens he plays 1st base now. A good example of his speed was last night when he scored the winning run. It took good speed and a great slide to score on that play. There were less than 2 outs so he has to hesitate momentarily to make sure Ethier wasn't going to get to that ball because he got a great jump on it and was really closing ground on the ball. And then Ethier got to it right away and played it perfectly, made a quick, strong throw to Ellis, who in turn made a strong, accurate throw home. Not a lot of guys score on that play. Mat did.
