His low defensive value and a pretty full roster. I think he will be very valuable in that role but not more than the regular position players he...
He is a bench bat and fills that need nicely. He will get two or three starts a week but most days he will probably get a single plate appearance...
I just do not like/trust him probably just me.
Don't make excuses for him, he does not deserve it.
There is a non zero chance that the WAR loss of Tucker + Breg is compensated for by Walker and Paredez. Both Tucker and Bregman where unproductive...
Smith does not have the defensive chops to play third base in ML ball.
Yet another reminder that he is a seamless replacement for us at third base.

I spent some time in OK from about 77 to 81 and saw a few games. I didn't think of it as extreme. If you moved the fences out it seemed like it...
In my draft day notes I had him as a likely corner infielder with a chance at starting at first base. Is that what he looks like to you?
