Kirk Gibson on Springer during today's game

(1:41) 2nd in AL with 6 leadoff homers.  Good job of keeping “his power under control – he’s got pop!  Against lefties .333 BA w/ OPS over 1.000…  He kinda trended late…., times when swinging & missing too much….

Probably JD Martinez had something to do with them being patient w/ Springer… 

Tigers will be in same situation, only have so many slots…

JD Martinez was a 20th round pick who was given 2 years at the big league level before being released. George Springer was a 1st round pick who tore up the minors and was never that bad in the bigs. That is to say nothing about how Springer adds value on defense when not hitting, Martinez only adds value if he hits. Tyler white would be a more apt comparison
