One thing about Smith is from what I have read he is an extremely hard worker and a studies the game frequently.
System’s looking good....can’t wait to see it after the sell off.
Hoping Alford and Pompey and Tellez pick it up as the season moves along, would be a nice development and make the last couple of months more fun to follow.
Same with Travis and Grichuk, strong finishes would be real nice.
Eric Pardinho alert in Bluefield tonight.
Any word on his stuff/velocity?
Might be tough to get that info.

A name for the future is 17 year old Eric Pardinho from Brazil. In his minor league debut, he was hitting 97mph. As a 17 year old. 97mph.
Upside: Podkul no longer sucks as he comes through with a 2 run double
Downside: stadiums still play stuff by Pitbull in 2018...
Hasn't Podkul been like the only really good player for them? He has an OPS higher than 1.2 right now. It's only been like 6 games, but that's still a pretty good streak... Considering nobody else is doing nearly as well.
Fresh piping hot take:
Wymer sucks. Podkul sucks. Bec sucks. Will McAffer sucks. Vancouver sucks this year and everything is terrible. Contract them and save Rogers the money.
As I write this they're being no-hit thru 5.1 innings
I was only saying he sucked because through the first 6 innings nobody had a hit. Or a walk for that matter. So this being my first chance to see any of them, I came to the very reasonable, and very rational conclusion that they all must suck since I had seen all of them suck in 100% of my viewings of them.
The original post from a little bit above the one you quoted:
Side note: I want to see McGregory Contreras do well. Because his name is McGregory Contreras and that's awesome.
EDIT: ok, apparently according to Fangraphs it's actually Mc Gregory Contreras. With the space between "Mc" and "Gregory". Somehow, that's even better.
I really do think something was wrong with him physically as well as with Grichuk that appeared to have been deliberately ignored by coaching in April. I think there needs to be a clean sweep of the Jays coaching because this negligence has been going on for a while and as long as it continues, the team is going to go nowhere.
Much more likely to be (in the case of Travis) missing significant PA's in each of the last two years (baseball is hard...its harder without reps), and (in the case of Grichuk) a typical cold streak in April\May (he's slashed .183\.257\.354 in April over his career).
But yeah, derpa der, negligence, and other loud noises.
