buckeyes your frustration over the 8-12 record is understandable. As for Smith, like Hermies said there are a lot of guys ahead of him in the Tribe's minor league system and Carroll is a guy they kind of needed. He's not going to be spectacular but he has a decent track record as a utility guy. Last year they didn't have a guy like that and we had to watch Mike Rouse go something like 8-60 before they finally cut him. Carroll already has 5 hits and 6 walks in limited PT this season. I don't think Rouse did that in his entire tenure with the club.
As I'm typing this I just heard that they signed Jason Stanford to a minor league deal to fill Smith's spot. Stanford is a little older but an OK replacement with some big league experience.
