is a 33-year-old, right-handed hitting, former center fielder who will mainly be playing right field this season.
The number that kind of stands out is the 221 games. He’s missed 103 games over the two years. Which explains the move from center to right field. There is a lot of wear and tear on a 33-year-old. The center fielder gets the most plays, the most putouts, of the three outfield spots. On top of that, the center fielder backs up his outfield partners on all balls hit to them. And he backs up all plays up the middle.
George does seem the go-all-out all the time type. Vernon Wells and Kevin Pillar were much the same type of players, and they both missed their fair share of playing time with various injuries and wear and tear. And neither of the two aged well. Our batting order is a lot deeper with Springer in the lineup, so I’m good with anything that keeps him playing. I’d imagine he’ll still be getting some starts at DH.
