@ejanh_e @DodgersNation Dead on. Sounds like you've done it. We're all hoping for a breakout year from Smith, but it's a looong season!

@The80sMoviePod @DodgersNation Yep. It's a long season. Catching is great fun if you only do it once week, all action all the time. But this is the bigs. Rest him one day a week or more if he needs it. We'll need him fresh for September.

@mookieplzhomer @BlakeHHarris Makes sense. He's hot, Max is cold, Davy likes a lefty in the 4 spot, and it isn't like the Dodgers have had a true clean-up hitter anyway in the last few years. Give Max more time but move him down in the lineup.
