Yeah, that's funny. James said he ran well for the Sox -- but his Shandler speed scores are in the 30's. 100 being average.
On the bases he doesn't accomplish much -- few R per times on 1B, few SB's, presumably few 1B-to-3B's.
But maybe he's beating out a dozen two-bounce GIDP's a year. And certainly he has excellent range on defense. There is no denying Kotchman's rangy defense.
