This is definitively false. Garcia has elite speed.
Sanchez has played in a 148 games in the MLB. That's basically a typical full season sample. He has 3 SBs and 3 CSs in his career in the bigs. Garcia, who doesn't even fulfill all of his base stealing potential, has stolen 191 bags in minors and is 19/22 as a big leaguer.
I know Garcia is a better base stealer, but from a pure speed standpoint, Sanchez isn't a slouch. I acknowledge that Garcia is faster, but my point is basically that speed alone shouldn't deter us from hypothetically selecting the better all-around player, as his speed is not a weakness.
