Tim Smith Royals #18 prospect per Sickels
Yeah, I am bored.
Smith was ranked around #50 in the Rangers pre-season prospect rankings and didn't crack the top 25 in the LSB mid-season poll. He might have been around #40 in this off season rankings.
Recall that Smith and Manny Pina were traded to KC in early Sept for Daniel Gutierrez. Pina was ranked ~#40 by Lucas and Newberg. Gutierrez was ranked #10 last October by Sickels. He will probably be ranked in the mid teens for the Rangers this off sseason partly due to he showing in the AZL Fall league.
And who the heck is Mike Montgomery?

Mike Montgomery is awesome.
A highly touted high school pitcher from Missouri.
Nice to get a B/B- guy for two C/C+ guys.
Pro baseball has always been a dream, so this is pretty freakin’ cool out here. -- Tim Steggall, undrafted Rangers minor leaguer.

Only on the Missouri part
Montgomery was a highly drafted high schooler who has been fantastic in two minor league seasons.

Interesting parallel between the Rangers and Royals 2008 top 2 picks.
Royals: Hosmer (#3), Montgomery (#36)
Rangers: Smoak (#9), Ross (#57)

Agreed on both counts
Gutierrez should rank in the Rangers top 10. Neither Smith or Pina would rank in the Top 20. I wonder if Moore woudl be interested in exchanging Montgomery for a few more Rangers’ fringe prospects.

I'd even settle for Carlos Rosa
He seems to disdain the guys he didn’t bring in.
