    Eh. I have my worries about Gomez as well, but I think he'll be fine. He had two solid games back to back, but he's got to cut down on his K's....

    Its actually pretty uncharacteristic of him... he's notorious for swinging/missing at pitches in the zone... while laying off the bad ones (or making contact with them).

    I can't recall Springer ever being very patient.

    Yeah, I'm with you. I've always thought Springer has below average plate discipline.

    not sure I agree with that. Maybe you are right but he seems very impatient and swings at balls a lot..

    His OBP and ability to draw walks (minors included) suggests otherwise.

    He actually does have a good eye... contact on balls in the zone have been the issues (that he vastly improved upon last year).

    Recent article that talks about some of what I mentioned... but this was known about him even before he was called up.

    http://www.si.com/fantasy/2016/03/02/fantasy-baseball-2016-preview-george-springer

    And here's an excerpt from an article back in 2014 after he was called up.

    He has absolutely no wiggle room for error. Location has to be precise, or he'll get hit hard.
