To be a complete article, and to sustain a further understanding of the experiment, I'd like to hear about the secondary attiributes and where they ranked. Cartainly, speed was the "A" factor but in the first three rounds, espcially, players that had stunning speed had to have a couple other attributes of signficance that would make a great deal of difference. i.e. in Round 13, if you had two RF with a 17 speed, what was the tie-breaker .. if given all things equal to your philosophy?
A secondary philosophy would do well to finish out the article and help us understand the players a bit more. In the content, I found your descriptions flimsy of the personalities. "They were fast and they could field. They put the ball in play and they ran the bases well." Well, certainly speed would fold in to these concepts like a hand in glove. What was the secondary attribute that you chose to stick to? Power? Left handers? Superior defense?
A "roundup up of Olympic Sprinters" leaves me with carboard cutouts of the chracters involved in the story and therefore, leaves me with a "fad" of an article than a "trend" or "philosophy" article.
Kudos for the attempt. Expand the characters to help us identify with the types of players in MLB they might actually be close to. If N/A, then fill in the backstory to make the characters on Team Speed more realistic and three dimensional and your readers will find the story more compelling.
