If Ohtani is healthy all year we are taking the division with ease.

A healthy Ohtani would completely transform the rotation. It would put an end to the question about the Angels not having that 1 top of the rotation arm.

I'm definitely feeling better about the upcoming season after watching Canning and Ohtani the last 24 hours. 

Seriously. 

Bundy, Quintana, Heaney, Cobb or Barria are solid enough to give us enough pitching to keep us in most games and win a good chunk of games with the type of offense and defense that we have.

Luis Rengifo!

[Chuck]

Rengifo looks JACKED. Dude's been hitting the weights. 

[jsnpritchett]

My only goal for Ohtani today was for his arm not to fall off--so I'm very happy right now.

[Second Base]

Mark my words ladies and gents, Rengifo is going to be a stud starting infielder in the major leagues. I hope it's with the Angels, but no guarantee.

RENGIFOOOOOOO

[eligrba4ever]

Luis makes up for that grounder that got by him. He got punch.

[Bronson]

Trouts past his prime. Trade him while he still has some value.

Apparently lost weight for this season after struggling with the extra weight last season. So the guy is probably leaned out and shredded.

[Second Base]

We thought Perry Minasian underwhelmed this winter, but if you consider Ohtani and Rengifo turning the corner, he's also acquired an ace, a DH and a toolsy young infielder that is major league ready, in conjunction with a couple back end starters, a RF and a rebuilt bullpen.

@rafibomb Don't you guys remember being 23 years old and getting to choose between being too jacked and too cut? 

[Bronson]

This is the most excited I’ve been for a season since 2015.

[Bronson]

Dodgers paid 40 million for their ace

 

We paid 3 million for an ace and elite hitter. 
 

[Docwaukee]

the bad news is that Keller gave up a hr.  The good news is that Adell got a good jump.

I remember 5 years ago being able to bulk by working out then eating a a chorizo burrito with carne asada fries.

Lol. I've put on 30 lbs since last year when I started lifting. Now my wife says we should start running again to lean out. I don't have the heart to tell her my Marine body from our early 20's may not come back.

Ohtani— not worried about velocity

 

Still hits 100 on the gun.

 

This man is a living breathing anime character.
