I've seen Smoak play his whole career at South Carolina obviously, and I'm still much happier with the Beckham pick. Middle infileders with a good bat are harder to get than 1B/DH types. I don't get all the peoples animosity....guys who play first/DH that have power are a dime a dozen, and yes I know he is a switch hitter.

LOL even more at PK vs Gobble
5-6, 4 HR
Gobble is gonna look at who is due up next time and just say "Uh, no coach...I...I can't go in right now"
those stats are just comical
Oh get over it already. BA scalded a ball off of a guy that is the 2nd best reliever in the AL right now. Knowing our propensity to hit, he tried to make a play. It didn't work out, we'll keep at it.
I don't see that as a dumb play myself /shrug
I see it as trying to make something happen because your team has managed a paultry 7 hits in 10+ innings.

I expect a thread about the lack of velocity, he continuing decline, or how we need to replace him.
Well, I AM concerned about the strikeout/IP ratio to be honest.
