Also, "Speed" is reflected in a players Slugging Percentage, and a players Stolen Base ability is often barely +EV, if not -EV.
In fairness to Ichriro though, his last 2 seasons re: SB's have been ridiculous.

Mark McGwire in 2001 batted 187 and slugged 492
He had 56 hits, 4 doubles,29 homers and 23 singles
A lot more goes into slugging that just speed
