I haven't done this, no, but it sounds like a fascinating idea. Feel welcome to tell us how some of your experiments came out.

In terms of the all-speed team, btw, the Riga Technics from my fictional league are a natural experiment: their GM has the Power/Speed slider at the extreme limit of Speed. In my first year, they stole 383 bases; 93 games into my second year, they're on a pace to smash the 400 mark. They're also on pace to win the division after going 86-76 last year, which makes me smile; whatever the Baseball Prospectus gang argues (with evidence) about cost/benefit, I _like_ stolen bases because they're exciting....
