Wouldn't you want a good contact hitter much more than good eye, someone who rarely strikes out and usually puts the ball in play? For hit and run, and run and hit, I would think the key word for the batter is "hit", not "take".
When I build around speed and plan on stealing a lot, I always make sure my #2 is good at contact and avoid K's. I never really think about "eye" much in those situations.
