Go here. Isn't that a pretty swing? Smoak's not getting em out of the ballpark any faster and he's got the leverage and weight advantage. And yes, it's desert air, but the ball does tend to jump off the kid's bat from the Left-hand side. I don't think it was a coincidence that he was playing 2B while Miller played SS, but I hope we give him a shot at short. Unless we plan to trade Ackley, anyway.
I still have my fingers crossed for an early-season platoon if Ryan and Franklin. Defense when we need it, offense when we gotta have it. Cuz the kid can flat crush a ball when he wants to.
