I think I can support his roster spot however I don't like him as the 7th or 8th inning option until he can get back to pitching well... I would've probably let Smith stay in the game after only throwing 5 pitches
His defense and his BA are the reason he was available for minor league option. Batting 6-8 can't really complain as his power had been a plus. If guys can be on base in front of him that makes it even better.
I feel that as a big game pitcher he is who we want out on the mound. If he can stay consistent he will be the key to our pitching staff this year. I think his ability to go deep in games saving our bullpen is the most valuable part.
