"George Springer, OF, Houston Astros: The question for the often spectacular defensive center fielder has been whether his offense would keep pace with the rest of his game, especially after he struggled late last season after a promotion to Class AA. That level was no match for him this year, as he had 19 homers and 55 RBI in 73 games before a promotion to Class AAA. His numbers actually have improved across the board – batting average, slugging and on-base -- since moving up and, at age 23, is on the verge of a major league callup."

Let's go all out for George as he is a perfect example of our the kind of player our Baseball program can put out. BTW, he is also a native of Hard Hittin' New Britain.

Went to high school with George, he deserves it. Never bragged about how good he was, humble kid.

Need another push...

Archie Bradley gaining ground on George. Springer @ 48% - Bradley @ 41%.

Voting ends Wednesday. Let's be sure a Husky gets the recognition.

Still time to vote... last day. George is clinging to slight lead.

This isn't about being a baseball or Astro's fan - it's all about UConn and George.

He certainly deserves a call-up, but I read a questionable article that said the Stro's might not call him up since they aren't play-off bound and they selfishly might not want his free-agent clock to start ticking. Sheesh.

More likely the truth - But I think he'll get the late season call-up.
