Blowtani

[Angelsjunky]

I just want to be the first to officially say this guy blows. 

In before Stradling defends Scioscia.

In before Brandon accuses me of attention whoring.

In before Lou resuscitates this thread when Ohtani wins the Cy Young Award in 2020.

In before Scotty overrates an Angel prospect.

In before Doc posts a dissertation in-between surgeries.

In before someone shits on Chuck's couch.

In before Lifetime...oh, wait.

 

[Stradling]

I agree 

@Lou your turn

In before AO comes up with something better than Blowtani.

[Second Base]

Ohtani is the greatest prospect ever. The next Noah Syndergaard and Bryce Harper....all in one.

That's what you guys were looking for, right?

Actually Yes

I pictured Yu Darvish and Eric Thames (with half the AB's and thus half the totals) in one, which is still really good.

MLB.com's fantasy baseball  projections for pitching: 10-7 3.58 183 ks. I couldn't find hitting.

Let's all cross our fingers he and the team give up the ghost on his trash hitting and then he can really take off as a top of the rotation arm, until his elbow gives out of course

Let's hope that the team gives him plenty of time to adjust to the MLB before making major decisions.

Ohtani was signed mostly as a marketing piece, not as a player. If he didn't have all the attention that comes with him he would spend the majority of the year in AAA.

 he's going to get a lot of attention only if he plays well. If he sucks nobody will care.

Any starter who pitches to a 3.58 ERA with our lineup, will get more than 10 wins..........unless he is very unlucky.

Very few of the assessments of the Angels, takes into account his hitting at DH. Rather ominous, really. More so, when you realize that it means greater dependence on ValNObuena and/or Carter.

[VariousCrap]

I definitely don't expect much from his hitting, but he'll be fine pitching.

I agree. I think he has Ace capability but I seriously think AAA wouldn’t be a bad thing for the short term. 

[Chuck]

I think everyone can agree that any kind of production out of him with the bat was a bonus. When we signed him, we got the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. 

Nobody is even close when comparing stuff and he has already shown as a 20-year old that he can get out major league hitters on a national scene. 

[nando714]

He’s dominated AAA+ and we’ve seen many prospects before come up to the big leagues fall flat on their face 

I’ll continue to be patient but I don’t expect much from him after this sample size in 2018

He needs to learn how to work himself out of a slump. 

Fingers crossed

Confidence builder. It’s makes total sense.

[Taylor]

I'm trying to figure out where you could be that SLC is north and LA is south.

[Dick Enberg]

and when I said last month he would spend part of the season in Salt Lake, everyone laughed at me......

I have pics of Chuck's dong. Pm me for details
