There's no way to sugarcoat this. Shapiro made a mistake in offering Smoak a two year deal and he isn't going to undermine that decision before the season starts. Smoak will get plenty of playing time in the first 4-6 weeks of the season, and if he's still the same old Smoak, he'll become a bench bat/defensive replacement. It sucks because he'll cost us a few wins during his audition which could make or break a playoff birth.
The obvious better scenarios would be Pearce at first base with an Upton/Carrera/Pompey left field or Pearce in left field and a combination of Morales / Tellez splitting 1B/DH duties. The latter may happen in late May if Smoak is Smoak and Tellez is tearing up AAA.
