"The fastball of Bob Feller. The slider of Dennis Eckersley. The splitter of Hideo Nomo. The tenacity of Bob Gibson. The raw power of Tony Conigliaro. The athleticism of Dwight Gooden. Literally, the stuff of legends."

And the speed of Vince Coleman, right?

Sidd Finch’s Asian great nephew?

[DCAngelsFan]

Good lord, he's channeling my high school newspaper "sports reporter" with all the awkward metaphors and hyperbole - Jim Murray and Shirley Povich must be spinning in their graves ...

Based on that quote, I'd say the piece was co-written by a sports agent based in Boston. 

The raw power of Conigliaro? Come on.........

[Angelsfan1984]

The "speed" of Josh Hamilton, the package of Dirk Diggler, the dental plan of slimer the Ghost, the raw power of 2011 Toyota prius...Get Hyped people!!!

The weather knowledge of Mike Trout

I wish it was Trout who wrote that quote and made that prediction.  I would think Trout is the best recruiter this team has.

Well we have heard what Ohtani wants to do, but the key thing we have not heard from is his ACL.  What's it feeling like right now?  A little stressed, does it need a vacation for a year or so, does it need some pain killers to make it feel good, or ice to freeze it's boo-boos?

Or to make it more relevant, more hyped than a Robotech movie....

More hyped than a fat kid at a hometown buffet coming off a 3 hour juice cleanse.

Yes... yes I am ready!
