Joe Espada said after the game yesterday that Cam Smith keeps pushing the Astros hand on making the opening day roster: "He's put himself in a really good position and we'll continue to evaluate him"

When the only job handed to you is to produce and you exceed expectations, you get rewarded for the fruits of your labor. The Astros can do as much mental damage to Cam Smith at this moment by not rewarding him with an opening day start that he has won.

NO ES LUGAR PARA COBARDES 🤬 Juninho arremetió contra Veljko Paunovic después de su derrota en Toluca. 😡Quiere que le pasen un recadito al técnico. 😒 ¿Concuerdas con él? 👀 #Juninho #Paunovic #Tigres

He needs to be put in left field and move Altuve back to 2nd base!!! Think about it coach!!!!

He’s definitely better than Myers and McCormick not even a close comparison

If Cam starts day one and puts up remotely close numbers to Kyle Tucker then we need to give Dana a statue outside of Daikin (🤢) park

Just send him down to AA, let him get used to playing OF every day, getting AB's, then bring him up after 16 days to get that extra year of service time.

If he doesn’t make it I’ll actually be pissed NGL

In other words, he’s not an outfielder but he’s better than anything we have out there but….. this organization never gives the Super 2 to any prospect so maybe we see him In June.

Translation: Cam’s assignment to AAA ball is already in stone. They are just working behind the scenes on how to “spin” it as the marketing team gets creative with buzz words like “youth-inexperience-development-growth-timing-etc” [IMO]. 😉

i’ve known this kid was gonna be great since he was a Hyannis Harbor Hawk! Let’s go Cam!
