Springer for BHamilton?

[Kevin Seitzer]

Because he hits leadoff, steals every base available when he gets on base, and has better hitters behind him?

If you look at ZiPS, Steamer, and PECOTA projections, they have Hamilton projected for 42, 34, 49 runs and Springer projected for 44, 40, 54 runs, in similar playing time. In addition to the things you mentioned, on-base percentage and power also contribute heavily to scoring runs.

Huh, surprising. I guess my thinking is that Votto just came off the DL and Bruce is due to break out of his slump so his runs scored should increase going forward.
