I'm not ruling him out at all, or high K guys as a whole.
However there is a tendency for high K guys to bust more often. Its a tendency I've noticed following prospects for the past decade. High K guys bust unless they improve at every level or have significant secondary skills. ESPECIALLY high K, low eye types.
High eye types are much safer, but the risk is still amplified with high Ks at a low level. Why would you want such a high risk guy at #2 overall? Late 1st, sure. #2 overall? No way. Not unless he shows a lot of improvement next season. He'll be repeating the league for a 3rd time and if hes still K'ing above league-average, it becomes a red flag for me.
Sizemore is not a comp for Springer currently. Its not even a suitable template since we're talking about players with different peripherals at similar development stages. Springer needs to make a leap next season to catch up to the Sizemore template.
