He has to with all the speed or there would be a riot and people calling for his head lol Top to bottom this has to be pretty close to the fast team in the NL. Beside for Prince, McGehee, and Zaun (I think Kotteras has good speed for a catcher, but not 100% sure) Everyone else can run. Man Rickie has really turned into a lead off hitter up there. He isn't the free swinger that he use to be. At times (with 2 strikes) he can be a little too patient but he has really improved over the years, his defense is really coming around also Weeks was never a free swinger at any level of baseball
