              Brady Anderson formerly of the Orioles would've given Bret Gardner a run for his money

                  probably a little, Buchholz is faster than both though

                    I think Wakefield is faster than Buchholz, no?

                        Wakefield can probably throw the ball faster than Buchholz can run if thats what you're asking

                          Fishhead: Anderson was witnessed in practice with Olympic style speed--no joke--he did the roids when he hit the 50 homers but it had nothing to do with his speed

                              he might be.

                              but he is also gay like all the red sox

                                          The Buchholz thing is no joke. He was a sprint champion in high scool. Ran a 10.87 100-meter.
                                          (For context - although world class men are sub 10 - Marion Jones' best was 10.65 and Flo-Jo's best ever was 10.49).

                                          In the minors, Buchholz beat Ellsbury in a race and Francona has ordered they not race each other again even though the other Boston players were pushing for them to do it.

                                                the last thing you need is one of your starting pitchers getting injured running a meaningless race.

                                                    Speed is only an asset if the dipshit could get on base. Most of these speedsters spend their careers riding the pine pinch running in the 9th.

                                                      The irony is that Bucholtz INJ himself running the bases during Interleague play against the Giants.

                                                      When I saw him running, high school sprint champ didnt come to mind.

                                                        Steals are a good bench mark but steals aren't just about flat out speed. Steals are also a function of guys ability to read the pitchers move, get good jumps, and have managers that actually let them steal.

                                                        With that said I'd throw out these names...
                                                        Gardner
                                                        Buckholtz
                                                        Ellsbury
                                                        Michael Borne - fast but can't hit for shit
                                                        Juan Pierre
                                                        Chone Figgins
                                                        Jose Reyes
                                                        Rafel Furcal


                                                        Nijer Morgan is NOT near the fastest, I watched a lot of him. Just because he's a skinny knee grow doesn't mean he's the fastest because he's not. Ellsbury would smoke him and he's probably not even #1. Carl Crawford is also way overrated in the speed department. Little Ichiro at 36 or whatever years old would smoke him.

                                                        My best guess for #1 would be Ellsbury, Borne, Gardner or Buckholtz

                                                          I hate Brett Gardner. Yankee fans want you to think hes God. Hes the AL version of Michael Bourn, get over it.

                                                              Michael Born is a speedster that hits like a double A player. Bourne is maybe the fastest guy in the league and an awesome base stealer but his bad is so poor it's questionable for him to even stay in the lineup. Gardner should be a .300 hitter for years.
