Springer to take the next step? ... Called up just two weeks into April, uber prospect George Springer (OF, HOU) gave us a fleeting glimpse of his potential, smashing 20 HRs in just under 300 ABs before succumbing to a quad injury in July. However, his debut wasn't without its holes—he also struck out at a rate similar to teammate and serial-whiffer Chris Carter (OF, HOU). So, what can we expect in 2015?
