Ok.  Lol.  So obviously not a good post.  A very bad and completely wrong post.  But! Wrong as it was.  The assessment that he was significant boom or bust player.  Not a completely unreasonable one at the time.  I was very excited to get Ohtani when we got him. 
 

oh, also I thought the Angels should give Matt Harvey a go.

I remember this off season. They signed Upton on like day 3 and then radio silence for about four months.

You obviously don't cuz this 17-18 off-season they signed Upton In early November. Traded for Jim Johnson a month later. Grabbed Maitan and Soto from the Braves, Traded for Kinsler, Signed Cozart and oh yeah....

SIGNED SHOHEI OHTANI in Early December.

Nothing about Shohei's career so far should dispute the claim that he is a boom or bust player. He just really boomed.
