I love speed when it's used to create elite defense in the outfield in big parks like Kaufman. But I don't really care about stealing bases too much unless you are in a game you get to face a true terrible throwing catcher (like Norris in the A's game).
Last year we had horrid RF defensive play most of the time, as well as the year before. Sometimes not too good CF play. Compare Gordon/Cain/Dyson defensive compared to typical American League garbage defensive outfielders and that is equal to probably 5-8 wins if the big field is your home field.
Bonifacio/Soler is not the answer in RF. One of them needs to become the DH and the other one needs to be traded. My guess it's going to be Bonifacio.
