And Guti's R vs. RBI definitely dropped off in 2010. Your remarks about R vs RBI for certain Mariners is well taken, champ.

Somehow, HQ's SPD score weathered this contextual sideswipe beautifully:
Franklin Gutierrez SPD Scores
2006 - 104
2007 - 118
2008 - 106
2009 - 103
2010 - 110
Interesting that Gutierrez' SPD stayed 'up' despite the fact that his R/RBI got 'slower' and his Body Mass remained constant.
We do notice that he legged out "three times as many" triples as the year before, that being 3:1. :- )

In our zeal to advocate for Guti, let's not lose sight of the big picture: most ML center fielders are considerably faster than him.
