Though Isaac Paredes is the top option at Smith's familiar position, third base, Houston is executing an interesting move in an attempt to get the budding star on the Opening Day roster. Per The Athletic's Chandler Rome, it was announced early Tuesday morning that the Astros are set to experiment with Smith as the right fielder "very soon."

Cam Smith, Jeremy Peña and Jake Meyers are among the Astros who have looked good in spring training with two weeks to go until opening day.

Asking Smith to learn a new position while adjusting to life in the majors might be ludicrous, but he has forced the Astros to consider it.
