Is there a point in time where springer no longer becomes the defacto leadoff guy if his numbers don't really justify it?
I mean, I guess in theory. But who do you put there instead? Bo and Vlad aren't leadoff types. You could maybe put Varsho there, but he needs to get his OBP up before that's viable. Chappie? I'd rather have him protecting Vlad than leading off.
If springer can be a leadoff man, then chapman is actuallt a good suggestion. Not only is he faster, he has a good eye at the plate. Springer as a 4 actually makes sense where his clutchness and power can be used to drive in runs.
Springer is an aggressive hitter so doubt that plays well behind Vladdy. Chapman is not faster than Springer.
