Right now Dodger catcher Will Smith is the talk of the town and perhaps rightfully so. Just a few short weeks ago he was being thrown on the scrap heap by some Dodger faithful. I for one am not surprised that he has stepped up to claim the starting role as the Dodgers’ catcher.
It was mentioned the other day that there was nothing to suggest that this transformation could happen with the 25-year-old Smith. I believe there were signs along the way that he could evolve into an everyday catcher and that is exactly what the Dodgers were expecting him to do.
