While conducting some research during a debate about Rickie Weeks two days ago, I made the surprising discovery that only 21 MLB players to this point had hit 10 HR and stolen 15 bases. Perhaps I overestimated the amount of speed in the MLB, and I certainly thought the HR cut-off of 10 was reasonable; to increase the pool of power/speed comparison players to Weeks, I lowered the SB reqirement to 10.

There are only 34 MLB players that have combined to hit 10 HR and 10 SB thus far.

So, I decided compile some basic power and speed parameters for these players -- I looked at their XBH% and their SB%, to implicate the extent to which these players are effectively driving the ball and stealing bases at a productive rate. I also calculated raw Power/Speed number (PwSp = (2*HR*SB)/(HR+SB)), but that's not necessarily helpful in determining who actually is the most productive base stealer and who drives the ball for extra bases most frequently.

Here are my power/speed rankings, from 1-34. I deviated from basic power/speed number to either reward what I felt to be good skills driving the ball or productive baserunning:

1. Sizemore, Cle: 145 H, 31 2B, 5 3B, 31 HR; 35/39 SB; 89.7% SB; 46.2% XBH; 32.9 PwSp
