George Springer might be itching to debut with the Blue Jays on Opening Day, but the club has to remain patient with their new star, and they can’t forget some recent lessons that they should have learned from just a few years ago.
When I think about George Springer’s grade 2 strain of his oblique, all I can think is that the Blue Jays should exercise extreme caution in bringing back their prized new centre fielder.
