Rockies Deal Seth Smith to the A's for Pitching

The consistently under-appreciated outfielder Seth Smith has finally been granted his freedom from the grips of an undefined role in Colorado. While Smith always showed promise, the Rockies maddeningly appeared hesitant to grant him a full time featured role in their outfield. In 2011 Smith hit .284/.347/.483 with 32 doubles, nine triples and 15 home runs. While Smith's lifetime...

Rockies Sign and Deal Seth Smith Kicking Off Arbitration Season

Sign and trade deals are more common to the NBA where a long-standing collective bargaining agreement provision enables the club re-signing a player to pay more than would be available from another club, but that didn’t stop the Colorado Rockies from first working out a one-year deal with Seth Smith and then dealing him to the Oakland Athletics for Josh Outman and Guillermo...

Seth Smith traded to the Athletics

The Oakland Athletics found the last piece to their outfield puzzle when they acquired Seth Smith from the Colorado Rockies for Josh Outman and Guillermo Moscoso. The deal wraps up a whirlwind couple of weeks where the Athletics brought back Coco Crisp and replaced both Josh Willingham and David Dejesus.

Seth Smith’s Platoon Split as a Crisitunity

Despite the prestige of being 2011′s Most Average Player, Colorado Rockies outfielder Seth Smith has been the subject of trade rumors since the end of the season. Trading Smith might be a good idea for the Rockies if it enables them to fill a hole elsewhere, but Smith himself is better than one might think. He is not a great fielder, although it he is not horrible (the Rockies...

Dodgers Joining Race For Seth Smith?

ESPN Insider has a report that the Dodgers have joined the race for outfielder Seth Smith. Smith, 29, is a .275/.348/.485 career hitter in five seasons for the Rockies. He's hit at least 15 dingers in each of the last three seasons, so he can certainly provide some pop off the bench, because as of now that's the only fit I can see the Dodgers using him for. Of course concern...

Seth Smith Traded to Oakland

Before last season, I had touted Seth Smith as somewhat of an undervalued asset to fantasy baseball players. He was on many of my teams in which the league stretched to 14-plus teams and, for a good part of the season, he was a borderline top 100 fantasy player. He had too really bad months, July and September, which unfortunately brought his overall numbers down. Another reason...

Oakland Acquires Seth Smith From Colorado

The Oakland Athletics continued to demolish their pitching staff by trading starting pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman to the Colorado Rockies for outfielder Seth Smith.

Mets NOT Interested in Trading Niese for Seth Smith

Yesterday there was a rumor that the Mets could be looking to trade promising young left, Jonathan Niese for Rockies OF Seth Smith.  I’m not sold on trading Niese just yet.  I think he could be a reliable 3rd or 4th starter in the big leagues.  Smith is an interesting outfielder though. Last year he hit .284 and had 15 home runs for the Rockies.  Granted, some of those home...

The Oakland A’s have traded for Rockies outfielder Seth Smith in a deal that sends pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman to the Rockies. When I look at this deal independently from the surrounding events of the A’s offseason, it’s a pretty good deal. Oakland clearly receives the best player that fills a position of need and he comes at a decent price for the next couple...

I’m not understanding all this buzz over Colorado outfielder Seth Smith. A few Mets rumors have even hinted that the Mets could swap either Jon Niese or Daniel Murphy for the Rockies’ 4th outfielder. Really? Why? Snith, 29, has had a very mediocre career batting .275 with a .348 OBP in 1,286 AB over his five year major league career. He’s a corner outfielder with...
