Good eye with bad K rates in the minors is monumentally better than a bad eye with bad K-rates, but high K-rate guys are still going to run higher Bust%s as prospects.
You bring up Sizemore once again, and once again you ignore that he K'ed 10% points LESS in the minors than Springer has in college. Sizemore K% IN THE MAJORS matches Springer's IN COLLEGE. Thats a very important difference. It signifies a significant hole in Springer's swing that will be exposed at higher level if adjustments aren't made.
Grady Sizemore just is not a comp for Springer UNLESS Springer drastically improves his K-rate. I don't understand why people keep throwing out comps that don't match each other skillwise for prospects.
Unless the K-rate improves by a LOT this year, Springer is very high risk, high reward and I don't want that at #2. If he DOES make those adjustments and the K-rate improves, than maybe.
