A defensive 1B is so underrated. In the NL without a DH that's just where they stick the big bats, but in reality, a great defensive first baseman can be the difference of turning inning-ending DPs, picking throws from 3B or even in our case, catching fly balls in foul territory. If we lacked a productive bat in the middle of our line up I can see more of a case of Cola over Smoak, but I believe our team has one of the best defenses in the AL that's just overshadowed by our offense.
