Rest-of-Season Projections
Lands with White Sox
Smith signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox earlier this month, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old is expected to open the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Charlotte while serving as organizational outfield depth. While in the Reds system in 2021, Smith spent the entire season at Triple-A, but he saw big-league action with either the Blue Jays and Orioles in each of the prior four years. Over 568 career plate appearances, Smith has produced a .248/.310/.416 slash line (90 wRC+) with 17 home runs, seven stolen bases, 68 RBI and 66 runs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
Smith battled injuries through much of 2019 after being traded to the Orioles last March, and he was unable to lock down a consistent starting role even in the weak Baltimore outfield. Injuries to other members of the outfield allowed Smith to log 392 plate appearances last season, but he ended up hitting .241/.297/.412 with just five stolen bases. Smith has shown some speed potential in the past, but his struggles to get on base limited his stolen-base opportunities in 2019. The 27-year-old's contact rate fell to 77% in 2019, while his walk rate fell to 6.6%. Smith grades out poorly on the defensive side, and there's nothing in the batted-ball profile to suggest there's a next level with the bat. Even a bottom-feeding team like the Orioles will probably find a way to reduce Smith's role further in 2020. They could phase him out completely by midseason.
