The Red Sox have two of the fastest guys in baseball in Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury. Adrian Gonzalez is not in the equation, in fact he may be one of the slowest guys in baseball. If you need any evidence just look at what Gonzalez said on WEEI:
Gonzalez said he has good agility and quickness around the bag, but he would “definitely” lose in a race to David Ortiz. “Straight ahead, I’m the slowest guy you’ll find,” he said. “You’ll find out, trust me. When I get thrown out the first time, you’ll be like, ‘Man, he didn’t make it?’ And then you’ll go back and watch the video and you’ll see I went as hard as I can out of the box.”
