    His last 17 games he is hitting .303 with a .395 on base and .682 slugging

    The Astros are 9-8 in those 17 games

    One player can certainly make a difference. At some point, hopefully Singleton can make a similar impact.

    About the same outside chance that CSNH will be successful.

    Looks like the Astros might have a "Big Three" to build around with Springer, Altuve, and Keuchel. About time!

    puig has a better hit tool & stronger arm..

    springer is probably the closest thing to puig though.

    it's impossible to find one link. lucky for us, baseball is one of the few sports, if not the only one, that is just as enjoyable on the radio.

    Fascinating article on Springer and his strikeouts, not sure if posted.

    One point in particular I never thought of

    WHat's the ceiling of George Springer? Could he be Mike Trout 2.0?

    I see Springer putting up Beltran (in his prime) like numbers. He reminds me of him alot.

    Yeah, this guy might be on the All-Star team this year. Trying not to jinx him, but he's the real deal.

    Springer, Altuve, Keuchel on the All-Star team?

    George Springer starting to look like a superstar. The dude has totally elevated this club's play by himself lately.

    Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Trout is one of the best players in the league, and is also 2 years younger than Springer. It is kind of unrealistic to expect Trout 2.0. If he is as good as Trout, I'd be ecstatic.
