I like our rotation

[Kendo36]

Would like to see us go after Cobb or Lynn rather than the big names. You can't count on the majority of our staff.

Agreed

Do we really want to pay Darvish $25M per season after he turns 35 yrs old? Hell, I don’t think he’s worth $25M per season now IMO. 

 

If they're seriously entertaining the idea of Darvish at that price, I'd rather see them sign Arrieta. He's a much better pitcher than Darvish.

Curious about this...would signing Darvish be a small slap at Ohtani?  He wanted to come to a team, so we’ve heard, without a Japanese player.  Would Ohtani immediately feel a bit upset at the Angels for signing Darvish?  Now, I don’t think any player should have this kind of power over a team, but what are your guys thoughts on that?

If we do go with a 6 man rotation, it might be enough for Darvish to take a lesser deal to come here since he’s advocating for them.  Plus it gives Ohtani more at bats.

Ohtani idolized Darvish. I don't see why he wouldn't love playing with him. 

If the Angels can get Darvish at 4/80 or 5/100 they should pounce. Darvish was still one of the 15 best starters in baseball last year despite his down year. And he pitched far more like himself while he was with the Dodgers.

Eppler said the Angels may go with that.  Ohtani + 6-man rotation = just may be enough for Darvish to take a  discount to come here.

He single handily lost the WS for the Dodgers but ok

Even more reason Angel fans should have a soft spot for him!

How many times has Kershaw struggled in the postseason?

Darvish did a little more than struggle ... he blew up but ok

btw Fletch already said he doubts the Ángel FO is interested

Darvish pitched really well for the Dodgers in the NLDS and NLCS, though.

Kershaw "blew up'" many times in the postseason.

all of this darvish talk comes from one misinterpreted tweet and one uninformed tv comment.

darvish tweeted an angel because ohtani signed with the angels, no more significance than that.

YES network saw that and just blurted out nonsense.

darvish is almost certainly not coming here. they got ohtani to bolster their SP corps, now they are going to address their infield and possibly a bullpen arm.

let darvish go, he's not coming here.

Tyler Chatwood at 3/38 was more to my liking
