Even though Springer has had a lot of bad luck, he also hasn't had good ABs either.
He needs to be moved down, can't be getting the most ABs in this lineup with that much underperformance.
Bo > Vlad > Chap > Varsho > Merrifield > [w.e for 6/7] > Springer > Kiermaier
Obviously that's way too far for a guy you are paying a king's ransom to, but Springer/KK can definitely set the table for the top of the order, and they both have speed to get in scoring position through steals.
(If this works as a reverse jinx for tonight, I am all for it)

And our HR #s should normalize, too many 400+ ft flyouts from both Chap and Vlad. Vlad also needs to get going in terms of power, he isn't squaring up meatballs as often as he should.
