Lot of minor-league success, putrid at the major-league level. We’ll see if Smoak ends up succeeding with another team in the way Davis has done with Baltimore.

Let Napoli and his one good hip limp away and then get on the horn with Seattle about trading for Smoak.

Smoak is getting ready to break out in a big way. Unfortunately it will likely be with another team.

If they want to sit Jaso vs lefties, they could DH Liddi or Wells and have Montero catch. Hard to say what any of those right handed bats will be with the fences coming in. Unlikely they have Montero catch every day, sit Jaso vs righties and have Ibanez DH. Would make no sense at all.
