Smith has some value. He's physically maxed out (small and polished) but could be an effective end-of-rotation starter. Has put up good numbers at every level of his career and was - predictably - having a nice year in Wilmington.

I don't mind moving Smith to improve the major league roster, but they gave him up for much less than what he was worth.

Jesus. Smith has more long-term value right now than the main pieces in the deal that acquired Ian Kennedy. He's a GREAT second or third piece that is usually a key part of completing a bigger deal.
