Smoker, who saw his career curtailed by injuries, is now fully healthy, pitching at Double-A Binghamton and could be a late-season call up by the Mets.

Smoker, who was the 31st overall pick by the Nationals in 2007, ended up in the independent league due to his shoulder woes. The Mets signed him this spring and he is now hitting 98 mph with his fastball while dominating in the minors. With Jerry Blevins (forearm) still out and the Mets searching for a lefty reliever, Smoker could be an option to fill that role.
