I remember when Caleb hit HRs in five straight games once.

That was definitely a thing that happened.

He’s still available, I believe.

Signed with the Diamondbacks last month and is in minor league camp now.

Smith with 3-3 today with 2 home runs and a single. Based on the the way Elias and Hyde are doing things, he will be sent to the minors after the game.

Could be a classic case of a guy just needing a fresh start.

I'm betting it is a classic case of SSS.

Remember when Beckham hit 400 for a month?

Or when Jake Fox looked like Babe Ruth in the spring.

Smith is 12-for-28 with five homers since we picked him up on March 8.

Beckham just needed a fresh start, too.    And when that fresh start was over, he returned to being bad.

Spring results do matter if the FO trades for you.

I'm impressed with Smith. He wants to play for this team. He earned a starting spot in our OF.

[Tony-OH]

This team has nothing to lose by running him out there often. Let's see what he can do.

I still think it was kind of "sorry," for an Adam Jones deal the Orioles assured was 100% done until Jones said "no."

It was reported that is was the Asher deal. Nothing to do with Jones.

Right, and against the rules.
