Isn't speed one of the 5 tools?
He sure is entertaining, though. We have a very interesting team to watch.

if you don't think zambrano is fast, then you haven't been paying attention. i've seen him leg out bunts. not drag bunts, not bunts for hits, but sacrifice bunts. bunts that everyone in the park knows is coming. i've seen him hit triples. for a man his size, he can move.
seriously, he's a five tool player. hit for power? yes sir. hit for average? you bet ya. arm? obviously. fielding? yep. speed? absolutely.
now, he doesn't walk much, so to some he may suck. i still like to believe that hits are better than walks. call me old fashioned.
