No surgery has me hoping he can go the Pujols route.. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hope <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Astros?src=hash">#Astros</a> give more Intel on Springer's fracture.

Glad it's not Surgery but it's' def a huge loss. Lowrie please make a comeback soon. Question: How does the top 3 of the lineup look now going forward? Altuve, Correa, Gattis ?
1. Altuve 2. Correa 3. Tucker 4. Gattis 5. Rasmus 6. Carter 7. Singleton 8. Valbuena 9. Castro/conger or 1. Altuve 2b 2. Correa ss 3. Gattis dh 4. Carter 1b 5. Rasmus lf 6. Santana rf 7. Valbuena 3b 8. Marisnick cf 9. Castro / Conger c
Altuve Tucker Correa Gattis Rasmus Carter Valbuena Castro/Conger (Hank needs to start getting some more AB's vs. righties) Marisnick
That seems impossible. I broke my right wrist in High School. Doctor set it, and then I had a splint for a while, but it was a long time before I got full range of motion back (Never really did, but close enough). I remember when I first started playing tennis afterwards. My power was shot, especially on my serve. Springer will obviously have regular medical care and physical therapy which will help him recover faster, but this is definitely a difficult injury. I'll also quote myself from earlier this year when talking about Buxton's statistical fall:
With the timetable, I sure wish it was Kemp coming up, especially given they are making a 40-man move.
