The Red Sox scored tons of runs in the mid 80s with absolutely no speed on the team whatsover. Wade Boggs hit leadoff when OBP wasn't highly thought off. Boggs, Buckner, Jim Rice, Don Baylor, Dwight Evans, Rich Gedman etc, some of the slowest players of all time and they still scored runs. I would rather have smart baserunners rather than just fast base runners, especially in Fenway Park.
