Breakdown Josh Smith

    Overview

  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: 3B SS DH . However, he plays 3B most often.
  • Experts don't even rank him among 3B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 23rd.
  • The current leader among 3B's is Jose Ramirez
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
