Hello everybody and welcome to another season of Smith’s Fantasy Tidbits. If you are looking for witty dialogue or biting wit, this will not be your cup of tea. However if you are looking for trends, past successes, terrible failures, streaks and statistics, this weekly feature will be right up your alley. Sit back, partake in a tasty beverage of your choice and enjoy.
