FACTS/FLUKES: Springer, Aa. Sanchez, Calhoun, Pomeranz, Moreland
Aug 19 2016
Springer shows growth...Preseason expectations were clearly sky-high for George Springer (OF, HOU) as he was regularly selected in the first two rounds (ADP: 23), and went as high as #11 in 2016 NFBC drafts. This despite never having having reached the $20 earnings plateau, much less the $30-$40 levels expected of 1st round picks. Why has Springer failed to return 1st round value, and what's needed to ameliorate?
