If those numbers are similar, why are the K rates relevant?

If those were Major League numbers, they wouldn't be relevant.
But as a predictive tool, high minor league Ks suggest a hole in the swing that can be exploited by major league pitchers.

The guy has improved at every minor league level. Why would we not believe that he will improve with the big club?

I can't remember so much excitement over an Astros prospect. I mean

Springer Time is here! Come out to #MMP tonight for #SpringerDay!

Was in the draft room when the Astros took Springer. The tension was off the charts as they waited for the team before them to pick.

Once they knew Springer was their guy, Bobby Heck did his best to stay reserved. But the place erupted. #springer

Brian McTaggart ?@brianmctaggart 1h
OK, I'm tired of writing about George Springer. I'm ready to watch him play on a daily basis. Who's with me?

Jeff Luhnow ?@jluhnow 4h
Use #SpringerDay to convince me that you should get two great seats for tonight's game! I will choose winner/s by 3 pm.

Jeff Luhnow just said George Springer will hit 2nd in the lineup in his MLB debut.

Not bad. I'd rather move Altuve to 2nd and bat Springer 5th or 6th...but whatevs. I'm just happy he's up with the big club

Yeah, ideally he'd bat 5th, but our lineup sucks so bad that this is their only way of "protecting" him. I'm out of the loop tonight and can't watch...I haz a sad.
