Edit: Just saw this critical opinion about him: https://www.bigcatcountry.com/2018/8/21/...-in-a-bind

Not much to disagree on, but I think Smoot was meant to be more the big end guy replacement for Calais but now we have Taven who can play outside and in. Got to wonder if his roster spot is in question. Dimick hasn't really shown anything in the preseason games to make a case.

If Smoot can't get healthy I could see him IR'd.
I don't think he's in danger of being cut with the expected exit of Fowler after this season and the possible exit of another DL guy or two.
I agree that I don't think he was ever supposed to be a replacement for Fowler but is used more as a swing backup.

Sometimes 3rd round picks don't pan out to be much more than role players. Maybe the idea was to take over the big end spot but Taven fell in their laps.
I think Smoot will run out his contract as a backup player. And for this season he could be IR'd if he doesn't get on the field this week or next. (McCray has played well in his time on the field)
