Curious to know from some Giants fan what the issues are with him. He did really well at previous offensive oriented leagues.. Yet struggled at AA in a league that is neutral.
Is Smith a hard thrower? Don’t recall seeing him, tho may have while watching portland on Milb.. Don’t recall.. He’s old for league, tho must have been something for SF to protect him from the Rule 5 draft?
I’m interested if someone has more info.

The article has his 2015 numbers right there int he second paragraph, that’s all you really need to know for why they would want to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

It’s like they bring up a different AAAA infielder every day. Starting to get out of hand. Guess that’s what happens when half your starting infield and both of your backups are all hurt at the same time.

First off, he’s 26, not 28, so the Hi-A year he was 25. Second, his walk ratio is 10.3/9 this year and his Whip is nearly 2. Have to wonder about an injury or something. The walks are way out of line from his previous seasons.
