Quick FIELD f/x thought

To those who think Pitch F/X, Hit F/X and FIELD F/X would strip baseball of all it's goodness and natural entertainment, consider this.  With today's Yankees Angels day game serving as white noise while I crush some serious mySQL queries, Michael Kay and Ken Singleton discussed whether Brett Gardner might be the fastest player in baseball.  Surely, there's no way we could actually answer that; after all, baseball players aren't 'combined' like NFL players.  It was a short-lived discussion but names like Carl Crawford, Michael Bourn, and Jacoby Ellsbury were thrown around as possible candidates.

With FIELD F/X, we would know the answer.  One of the many things that FIELD F/X could track is the top speed of a centerfielder snagging a gapper in right.  It would add another segment on Web Gems, that's for sure.  Wouldn't this information make the game so much more enjoyable, not just stat-geeks like myself?

Think about this one.  If Ichiro Suzuki hit an inside the park homerun, where would Benjie Molina be if he were the one legging it out? If we had real speeds of players, couldn't we stamp a Mario Kart Time Trial-esque superimposed Molina ghost on top of the Ichiro video layer running around the bases?  When Ichiro touched home plate Molina would be beginning his turn at first base, right?  Pretty sure that would be video gold.

I want to know what's behind that FIELD F/X curtain.

How else could FIELD F/X amplify our enjoyment of baseball?
