Bubba is terrible with a bat.

Doesn't seem as if he has an eye for what pitches he wants to hit or can actually hit, he just seems to slap at stuff he thinks he can beat out with his speed... I think this is a bad habit he fell into a long time ago and the coaches haven't been able to talk him out of it...

Big series between Halos and Astros

He should go to AAA and get the playing time he needs

You mean the Josh Smith that slashed .293/.383/.512/.895 in May?

I’m referring to his fielding

Now all my Astros fan friends will get to start saying "well it's only June" now

I'm under the impression that his defense is solid, if it's not it's because he's being asked to play 6-7 positions

he's serviceable as a backup, but he is a bit error prone.

You do realize that with that May stats he is still only batting .211 for the season but my point was playing time especially when Duran and even Garver return. Duran is going to get the majority of playing time at DH or LF so Josh will maybe get 1 start every week or 2 and sit on the bench the rest of the time.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

The Rangers were 18-9 in May. Their .667 winning % was the best in all MLB.

He’s played 4 positions (SS, 2B, 3B & LF)

 

[Nightcrawler]

Smith is a good utility player / back up / fill in. I don’t think he’s every day starter material tho.

 

[jta4437]

He’s played 4 positions (SS, 2B, 3B & LF)

He's certainly capable in all 3 OF slots
