Cam Smith Has A "Good" Chance To Make Opening Day Roster
19 seconds agoA source has told FOX 26 Houston's Will Kunkel that prospect Cam Smith has a "good" chance to make the team's Opening Day roster. If Smith does make the roster out of camp, he should see regular at-bats between third base and the outfield. The 22-year-old is impressing the coaching staff this spring by hitting .423 with a 1.362 OPS, three home runs and nine RBI in 26 at-bats in Grapefruit League play. Smith was acquired from the Chicago Cubs in the offseason trade that sent outfielder Kyle Tucker to Chicago. He has played in only 32 games in the minor leagues after the Cubs took him 14th overall in last year's draft out of Florida State, but he could be forcing the Astros' hand. If Smith does make the roster, most of his playing time is likely to come in right field in Houston, and he could be worth a bench stash in deep-mixed leagues.
