Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
2016
2015
2014
Traded across the bay last February, Smith drew rave reviews from his new coaches and teammates in spring training and summer camp. He was otherworldly out of the gates with Oakland, turning in 10.1 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and one walk in his first five appearances. All good things must come to an end, and in Smith's case, that end was sudden as he went down with a forearm strain in mid-August and missed the rest of the season. Fortunately, an MRI at the time showed no structural damage. The A's tendered Smith a contract after the season and settled with him at $705,000, suggesting they have some confidence he can contribute in 2021. With Liam Hendriks leaving in free agency, the ninth inning looks open. Based on his 2020 sample alone, Smith would seem like a legitimate candidate, but he had not previously displayed anything close to that level of skill.
