I know the Rays have been offensively challenged the past few years, but I think they are turning the corner. Logan Forsythe, Kevin Kiermaier, Steven Souza Jr. and others seem to be nice complements to Evan Longoria, James Loney and Desmond Jennings. But it seems the team is too focused on power. How about baserunning skills and speed?

All teams want to run, but they have to have the speed and the know-how to do so. The Rays generally have decent speed, but it's not like the days when they had burners like Carl Crawford and Melvin Upton Jr.
