You make a good point, Swampboy, about base running acumen. Though speed can be a real weapon. UCLA baseball this year has a kid on the roster who was the California HS champ in the 100 and 200 -- ran a 10.36 100 meters as a senior in high school -- and is apparently used as a pinch runner at UCLA. Interesting story -- played baseball as a freshman and sophomore in high school, got cut junior year, so went out for track and ended up the following year as the fastest kid in the state. But I guess he really likes baseball because once he got to UCLA he switched back to baseball: www.uclabruins.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5395
