If they aren’t gonna try Merrifield or KK leadoff in the games Springer is on the bench, it aint gonna happen. Plus I think that puts added pressure on KK when he seems completely set on being “the best 9th hitter in baseball”. He’s in a groove and i’d leave him where he is.
And its hard to move a vet like Springer out of his comfort spot after a month of bad hitting. It kinda signals panic and lost faith in the player. He hasn’t even looked terrible really, just a lot of bad luck recently. The average could easily be like .275ish now.
