[心得] Justin Smoak

[kriminell (cookie dude~)]

   After all the hype and anticipation, it seems Justin Smoak has arrived
   in the major league to early after all. Numerous Texas fans have made
   comparisons between Smoak and Chris Davis and they all came to a
   conclusion that Smoak is not any better than Davis, both offensively
   and defensively.
   I guess it's always hard to defend someone whose batting average was
   0.165. Yes, he did draw some walks but that doesn't really help much
   considering his below-average speed and the batters immediately behind him.
   I am not sure if someone had told Smoak to be more aggressive at the plate
   but seemingly he was being more aggressive. The result wasn't good.
   Many have cast doubt on the need for him to bat as a swich hitter, since
   he could barely hit right-handed.
   I do miss Davis, and I won't feel sad if Smoak is to be sent down. Unlike
   Washington, who showed faith in Smoak's swing, I see inability to adjust
   to big league pitches when big league pitchers have adjusted to his swing
   rather effectively.

   I don't believe he should give up his swing on the right side, however.
   It wasn't a bad swing. It's the overall struggle that accents the meager
   batting average when Smoak bats right-handed.
