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.

Are you saying that Springer's 147 strikeouts per 550 AB's cross the threshold into "forget it," but that 132 strikeouts per 550 AB's would be fine?
You've got ten checkmarks of similarity between the two players, Taro, and a 10% delta on one of the benchmarks and BING BING BING the red lights flash and we've got no comp at all?
Care to find me any two players, who ever lived, where I can't find a 10% delta on one of the benchmarks?

Still, I'm not saying that George Springer is Grady Sizemore.  Sizemore was a very good ML player at age 22. 
It is the TEMPLATE we are talking about, like saying that Anthony Rendon is in the Hank Aaron template.
