Smith signed a minor league contract with Minnesota. He's currently hitting .375 (9-for-24) with a home run in seven games for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.
ANALYSIS
Smith is 26 years old and has bounced around the minors playing in the Cardinals and Marlins organization, never rising above Double-A. He has just a career .758 OPS at Double-A, so he doesn't appear to have much upside despite his strong WBC showing.
