This is the hitter they thought Smoak was as a prospect.

 

He's only got an 18% k rate this season. WTF is going on? What a drastic change in approach and results!

Wait and see. He did this last year, prior to the extension.

Defensive metrics say otherwise

 

They're served up as a minus to start, I agree defensive metrics are not correct. Worst in ball.

 

You're both wrong, defensive stats historically have Votto as a very good defender at first. He had an outlier last season, those unfortunately happen, but is now back to being well above average.

I didn't look at his peripherals last season in that run, were they like this, or his usual 30% k rate?

He says pitchers have been throwing him so much breaking stuff that now he's just starting to sit on it.

I still disagree about defensive metrics, I think they're weak.

I love how Smoak is turning all the haters into idiots.

 

Probably the same people that thought Sanchez was garbage and could never improve.

It's a great adjustment! The dude looks like a completely different player.

Not so much that he couldn't improve, just that there was a decent sample size to suggest it wouldn't happen.

I think his BABIP was up there. This season .297 BABIP and sub 20% K-rate, he's legit doing really well.

Way to spoil everyone's night douche bag.

 

Enjoy your shower in Jail.
