		<description>A Corey Smith sighting in yesterday's BA Daily Dish ...

Could this be a sign of things to come for Padres third baseman Corey Smith? Or just another hot start followed by his long history of inconsistency? Smith, a first-round pick of the Indians in 2001 out of Piscataway (N.J.) High, always seems to get out of the gate strong, but then flounders with prolonged droughts at the plate with errors mounting as the offense struggles through June and July. Traded for Padres' first rounder in 2001, Jake Gautreau, Smith is hitting .324/.377/.507 with two homers and six RBIs in 71 at-bats overall. He's committed four errors in 17 games.

		<description>There are good BB:AB ratios from Barfield, Kottaras, McAnulty, Knott, and both Johnsons.

Only Bush and Cruz have decent SO:AB ratios and Bush is borderline.

Only Knott and M. Johnson have good BB:SO ratios.

Knott, Ramirez and both Johnsons have strong XBH:H ratios.

That's based on this: http://www.strikethree.com/01/07/14/dac.shtml&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-1471"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
