EDIT: Figured this would be worth it's own thread, but feel free to lock and move it to the main Smith thread
They may have known, as some writers did, that Smith's mechanics made him an injury risk. But that doesn't mean he was hurt when the deal was made. It just means it was a risk, one I think the Sox were smart to take on, especially since they performed a physical that, presumably, was clean.So. What did the Mariners know and when did they know it?
He's been bad because he's been hurt, so he seems like an improbable short-term fix.Orioles traded Brian Matusz to Atlanta for two minor league prospects and the Braves DFA'd him. Up until this season he was a dependable situational lefty. Worth taking a look at?
