I think we're getting to see the real Smeltzer the last few starts. He's certainly not going to blow anyone away, and his stuff is average. He's very hittable. However, if Smeltzer has absolutely everything going for him on a particular day...hitting all the spots and getting guys to chase, he can be effective. I honestly don't think he's a viable, long term answer as a starter. I think his value will end up being as a reliever. Lefties hang around forever, and I bet he will too, but not as a starting pitcher.
