Which is why moving Smoak down this year after struggling was stupid. And why, in a perfect world, Ackley is the starting 2b, beginning today..not some artificial date in May.
Favre threw as many interceptions as touchdowns in his first two seasons. Nobody sat him down, Greatness in progress still become greatness. Willie Mays was ofer 21to begin his career, or some such thing.
If Smoak is the hitter everyone seems to think he is, then 100 PA's in Tacoma didn't do him much good. Let him adjust on the fly.
Worrying about year 7 on a contract when the guy may be a 15 year star, all things going right, seems a bit chintzy, too.
Alas, I suppose I can survive the Tacoma-2011 Ackley days.
And let's just call him "The Cat!" Wicked reflexes and a keen eye.
