MESA, Ariz. — Josh Smith is in his first spring training with the Rangers. He is making team officials take notice.
Funny thing: The same thing happened last year even though he was with another club entirely.
A year ago, Rangers scout Jonathan George was in Tampa for Yankees spring training, when he happened upon an early-camp intrasquad game. He was still watching when a tiny little third baseman sprinted for a foul pop and did a full-on Derek Jeter dive over the tarp.
