With Smoak, then the way that I see it... Jack will probably not sign another big bat... which would mean no Nelson Cruz, sooo possible positive, but now we are in similar position as last year. By that I mean a very weak OF that is a major injury risk. The M's would be forced to run a rotation in CF, RF, LF, 1B and DH - with Smoak, LoMo, Hart, Ackley, Almonte, Saunders, and Bloomquist. That rotation does not have enough defense or offense in my opinion. To just further point it out, it scares me that Bloomquist will be playing significant time in a corner outfield position.
Without Smoak, HOPEFULLY Jack would get an athletic OF who has above average offensive skills.... Choo, Cain, Gardner, Gomez... or similar would be exciting.
