It makes sense that R would be lower in relation to RBI for Ichiro, Figgins, and Guti. Ich/Figs are leadoff hitters and typically hit behind far inferior batters over their careers.
Ichiro in particular has had a terrible offense hit in front of him over the last several years. This year the MOTO's SLG was nearly as bad as the 7/8/9 hitters. It makes sense that his Rs over RBI would be the most affected.
In Guti's case it also makes sense that his speed score would go down. He was a MOTO hitter behind Ich/Figgins all year and part of the problem. The lineup behind him was far worse in relations to SLG than the top of the order was in relations to OBP/speed.
