It's not that he shouldn't have great gap power, it's that hitting a ball hard to the OF + running like molasses can = a few missing doubles on caroms to the fielders.
Edgar's doubles totals are impressive because he "legged out" maybe one double a year. He wasn't sliding into 2nd in a cloud of dust to beat a throw.
Olerud had good doubles marks and low HRs, which evened out his power numbers, but I don't think Smoak is gonna have any years when he clears .350 as a hitter.
He seems like a 30/30 guy at best. 30 doubles, 30 HRs and call it a day. I'd take that. Like Morneau, he's not gonna be stealing any bases or going 1st to 3rd on a single. Morneau is about the same size, and is 4-for-7 in his career for steals over 4000 plate appearances. Edgar was 7-of-9 at age 36 alone - Morneau is practically comatose on the basepaths.
I'll take the handful of potential-doubles that are turned into singles by Smoak's slow-footed nature.
I like the package anyway.
