Japanese DH signs with the Giants!..........

 

Might scratch Shohei to SF off the list? Since he only can DH for the majority if not all of this season.

Not Hot Stove news... but didn't know where else to put this.

Man, thanks for sharing this.  What a wonderful kid and someone I hope we treat the right way moving forward.  You can just tell he's got it together and is super respectful.  In this day and age, its refreshing.

Iglesias was still pretty productive last year…Not sure he fits with the other two…

Wasn't trying to disparage any of them. But, I think it's pretty clear the Angels regretted each of those deals pretty quickly -- to turn around and erase them (to a degree) is nifty.

One of Perry’s strongest qualities is his quick pivots from missteps. Love it!

When applying for a passport in Japan, names must be written in Roman letters using Hepburn Romanization, the standard system for transcribing Japanese into Latin characters [1]. Among several Hepburn notations, the one that omits diacritics without distinguishing long and short vowels is the default for the passport. Under this format, his name would be written as "Otani". However, he may choose to insert an "h" after the "o" to indicate a long vowel, "Ohtani", as long as this spelling remains consistent for future application of the passport.  I cannot confirm whether his actual passport uses "Ohtani" or "Otani".

Starting in 2013, Ohtani's first season with the Nippon Ham Fighters, his uniform already displayed the "Ohtani" spelling. However, many English newspapers published in Japan used "Otani".

In November 2016, Jon Morosi informed the author of the reference [2] that MLB.com had switched to "Ohtani", and articles on the website written by him would reflect this change. At that time, the NPB's official English website still used "Otani" on its player roster page.

Currently, the notation of long vowels in NPB is arbitrary.

Sadaharu Oh [3], the lifetime home run record holder in Japan, was known as the player to add an "h" to a long "o" vowel in the English spelling of his name.

You mean they have to actually report instead of make shit up? No way!

Sasaki only turned 22 in November.

Crazy good stats in age 20 and 21 seasons: Sub 2.00 ERA, sub .80 WHIP, 7.5/1.0 Ks/BBs ratio, little over 6 innings per start, although only 217 innings total those two seasons

[m0nkey]

Well, here you go Perry, time to cook!

[Vlad27Trout27]

Now that this Othani situation has resolved, time for Arte and Perry to move on and build this team up! 

From the looks of it, it looks we'll have around 60-70 mil to spend. Easily enought to get an Ace and a middle of the rotation arm to slot. 

Offer Yamamoto a 7 years  over 175mil to 210 mil or Snell at around 150 Mil/ 6 years

Than either Stroman on a 64-70 mil over 4 years

Grab another BP arm 

Maybe sign Martinez to a 16 mil per 1 year contract 

and go to into this season with plans to win and kick the dodgers asses! 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Honestly I would try to get rid of Anderson's contract as well at least try to clear up about 8 mil of it. 

[angelsnationtalk]

So is Arte about to have a reactionary move like he did when he missed on Cole?

[Redondo]

Time for Perry to get to work

Hope it’s Yamamoto or Burnes, but after this gut punch I’m not expecting too much.

time for "Plan B"

I think Moreno is probably against that.
