Before the train gets off the track, let me state that I don’t think Cam Smith will make the Opening Day roster, even with another impressive performance in Grapefruit League play earlier on Monday. I mean, it is the Grapefruit League, and we’re only in early March. He only has seven total at-bats. The fact that he has four hits, including two home runs and a triple, is certainly encouraging, but it doesn’t mean he’s ready.
