Go on record. Predict Ohtani numbers for 2018.

[Dtwncbad]

14-9, 3.61 ERA

.258/.295/.420 with 12 hr

 

[Torridd]

I'll say 13-7, 3.82 ERA

.252 and 9 homers

[jordan]

12-4, 3.45 ERA,

.250 and 8 HRs, 12 SB

[Angelsfan1984]

14-6  3.25 ERA

.273 11 HRs, 46 RBI

[UndertheHalo]

Tanaka posted a .277 ERA in his first season with NY.  I think Ohtani can match that or be right around him. 

[krAbs]

13-5 3.35 era,

.245/.285/.440 with 12 hr; 5 SB.

[Second Base]

I'll go pretty general here. 

Around 150 innings, an ERA around 2.75

.270/.320 15 HR.

He will be 6 wins above replacement, finish top 3 in the Cy Young and top 5 in MVP.

 

[Erstad Grit]

As a pitcher he'll start off looking like  a cy young candidate.  Over the season he'll wear down a bit and the league will catch up. 

14-9, 3.60 era, 1.10 whip

Exact opposite as a hitter.  He'll look overmatched and some will say he should just pitch.  Over the season he'll settle in and put up respectable numbers. 

.255, 12 hr 

Wins ROY 

 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I'm going slightly more optimistic here:

16-6, 3.20 era

.275/.325/.490, 17 hrs, 68 rbi

So a definite ROY?

Pitching: 140 innings, 10.3 K/9, 2.4 BB/9, 2.89 ERA, 3.45 FIP. 

Hitting: .240/.300/.450

How many wins does that translate?

[Docwaukee]

12-2, 2.88 era in 140 ip.  

.304/.360/.440 in 350 PA.  10 hrs.  Don't think the in game power will show up right away but I think he's a better hitter than some are saying.  

[Angelsjunky]

4 IP, 0-1, 14.50 ERA

2-3, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .667/.667/.2.500

[Angelsjunky]

But seriously...

I think he’ll pitch 130-150 innings, with an ERA around 3.00, maybe slightly lower.

Hitting something like 250 PA, .270/.330/.480 with 10-15 HR.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Pitching wise....

 

Floor: Nolascoesque

 

Ceiling: Cy Youngesque

 

Likely Outcome: Tommy John

 

Hitting wise....

 

Floor: Gone Dayzesque

 

Ceiling: Mike Troutesque

 

Likely Outcome: Joe Charboneau

70 starts as DH, .260/.320/.380   12 doubles, 2 triples, 6 HRs 

[Dick Enberg]

Oh my, He'll start the season in AAA. go 2-1 and throw 18 innings with a whip of 1.25 and hit 278 with 2 homers, while striking out 20% of the time.

He'll then come up the majors, go 9 and 8, with a 1.31 whip, ERA of 3.78. he'll hit 245 with an OBP of 301, hitting 12 homers and striking out 23% of the time.

his best months will be August and September and actually carry the angels for a week in September, winning 2 games as a pitcher and hitting 3 homers, one a game winner.

2019 he'll become the star he was advertised as. 2018, lots of learning, adjusting, etc.

Fingers crossed. I hope doc is right about him being a plus hitter. 

Pitching wise im hoping for another GRich, and hopefully a healthy GRich to back to back with him. If that happens, we're going to be in a lot better shape than i think most realize.

I think Trout is going to come into the year ready to go after houston. And as i said the other dsy, i think kinsler (forget about his past dickheadness) and upton etc etc are going to make a big leap forward in the teams confidence and goals.

[DCAngelsFan]

145 IP, 2.90 ERA, 150 K, 50 BB

.250/.310/.460  - 18 homeruns (kinda optimistic on power - he's older (23), stronger, and healthier, and until pitchers find his weaknesses, will punish mistakes) 

combined WAR ~6, ROY, WS MVP runner-up 

The interesting thing is his age - he's well short of his peak - his real power, both pitching and hitting, may well lie ahead of him.

I can't see him going to AAA unless he totally bombs in Spring training.
