I'm with you, mojican -- Smoak (7-for-17, 2 dbl, 2 BB) deserves a shout-out.
Having Montero, Carp and eventually Catricala around him ought to help enormously. He won't have to try to be "the man" every AB. And he's healthy.
And, of course, Ackley has 6 XBH in 21 ABs.
You know, that other 2b named Dustin won an MVP at age 24, batting second, with 54 doubles and 17 HR. Anything keeping Ack from matching that?
We get all these guys producing together (remember, Ackley, Carp and Smoak were never "clicking" at the same time last year), and it ought to get very interesting.
