Should not have come to MLB this year, regardless. Cost himself at least $100M.

He had a lower OPS in Japan than Fukudome, I'm not sure why anyone thought he would be a threat with the bat. That is why he should have gone to the NL, and been a REALLY good hitting pitcher. He's not going to displace the roster spot of an existing American League DH, not with all his duties related to starting pitching. That notion was absurd from the get-go.

This.

I think of it as the Sidd Finch syndrome. The less people, professional scouts included, know about you the more they fall in love with the idea of what you can be. We see it in basketball all the time with European players. We definitely see it in baseball with foreign players. Football is semi immune to it but every year you see a mythological small school player rise in status pre draft.

Or you'll be projected as a 3rd or 4th round pick the entire time but suddenly have a young GM pick you in the 2nd round.

Saw him play today. Looks like he's getting use to MLB pitching. Nice Hr today and last night.

I really didnt pay much attention to his signing but now I see why everyone is so excited about him.

Otani another HR, off of Kluber no less. The other night the Angels were teeing off on Tomlin. They had like 4 HR's first time or two through the order. You could tell they were chomping at the bit to get another go at Tomlin before Francona pulled him. Whatever down and inside pitch Tomlin was trying to get by them was getting turned on and put into the seats.

Tomlin was throwing puss but the HR against Kluber was impressive. I think he’s going to be seeing a steady diet of inside fastballs.

I concur. This dude is good. Sox should trade for him.

Man this guy is fucking awesome. Had a perfect game thru 7. They asked Mike Soscia who he reminds him of and he said a 19 year old........DOC GOODEN! Omg! I remember Doc Gooden back the, one of the greatest seasons ever.

Was Theo close to signing this guy? It's fun to watch the Angels this year.

You know, when the guy is AB, I stop whatever I am doing and watch. Who's the last guy that had that same effect? Bonds before we knew he was roided up?

Given the guy's predilections, I couldn't imagine him going to a NL team.

And he's hurt.

Code:

@Angels
 Shohei Ohtani will be placed on the disabled list with a grade 2 sprain of the UCL. He underwent a PRP and Stem Cell injection yesterday with Dr. Steve Yoon in Los Angeles. He will be re-evaluated in 3 weeks and we will update his plan of care at that time.
