Cam Smith Starting In Right Field On Thursday
14 seconds agoHouston Astros third base/outfield prospect Cam Smith is getting the starting nod in right field on Thursday. The Astros have provided their top prospect with opportunities to learn the outfield during camp. This is his first time covering right field in a Grapefruit League game. The Astros acquired the former 14th-overall pick in a package that sent Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs. In addition, Smith is slated to bat cleanup in a lineup that contains all major league players, which suggests he could be in the running to make the Opening Day roster. Through nine games this spring, Smith has held a stellar .450/.560/.850 line with a triple and two home runs. Last summer, Smith appeared in 32 games in the Cubs system and posted a .313/.396/.609 line. If Smith makes the Opening Day roster, he is worth taking a late-round flier on in all standard leagues.
