It's a pretty solid analogy. Smith is a big factor in all of those areas. Not the only piece but a significant piece.

It's Marty ball, or Herm ball... even the small ball Royals won games this postseason with late home runs, and then made a terrible mistake by using one of their hottest hitters to bunt with no outs in game 7, giving Bumgarner a free out.
So no, I don't value small ball.
