I am told that Astros #1 prospect Cam Smith has a “GOOD” chance of making the opening day roster, per source.

If he makes Houston’s roster, the at-bats will be there for him. He will be in the big leagues to play.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith, with just 32 minor-league games, shines this spring with three homers, including Sunday’s opposite-field blast, and a standout catch in right field for Houston. The 22-year-old could play daily if he makes it. Fantasy managers in all leagues should target him for breakout power potential early in the Astros’ lineup.
