When I clicked on the link I got this message.  This site will soon be up and running.

Any way for a summary of what Sickels had to say?

Has great tools but SO rate is a concern. Did great at high-A, struggled at AA. Would expect him to spend most on next season in AA. Off-speed pitches are a problem for him. Has good plate discipline and the ability to play CF. Arm for CF and RF. One of the few MiL players with 20-20 potential.

It came up for me.  He primarily noted how Springer has difficulty with the off-speed pitches.  He does, however, have the tools to be a procuctive major league player.  He doesn't expect Springer to ever be a high batting average guy.

SBnation was doing a new roll out today and their change over took longer than expected.  that is why the link didn't work initially
