My Take

Okay, I'll admit it: George Springer is one of those guys I just love watching play. There's something about a 6'3" outfielder who attacks the game with that much energy, sprinting down balls in the gap and then turning around and swinging out of his shoes at the plate. The kid from New Britain who went to UConn and clawed his way into the bigs, then absolutely went nuclear in the 2017 World Series and walked off with MVP honors, ranking among the best October performances ever. He's a leadoff hitter with real pop, the kind of clubhouse spark plug every team wants. He always struck me as a steady, hard-nosed pro who lets the bat do the talking, and honestly, that's exactly the type I find easy to root for.
