2008 first-round pick Justin Smoak hit a three-run homer off Daniel Cortes to lead the Rangers to a 5-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday.
Smoak is 5-for-10 and he has two doubles to go along with the homer. He looked about as close to the majors as any prospect drafted last year, and nothing has happened to alter that assessment since June. The Rangers might be ready to pencil him in at first base or DH by this time next year.
