Smith's Journey: From Injury to All-Star
Description
Shane Smith, a former Wake Forest teammate of Bobby Hearn, now the White Soxs assistant pitching coach, secured the opening day start. Despite injuries and undrafted status, Smiths talent led him to the White Sox via the Rule Five draft. Hearn, who captained the Demon Deacons, praised Smiths perseverance. Smith, however, struggled in spring training, giving up five runs against the Athletics. The White Sox trimmed camp, leaving 50 players, including 24 pitchers, ready for the March 26th opener against Smiths former team, the Brewers.
