CDiaz27? got a reaction from ten ocho recon scout in Angels compete by what year?
Yeah but aquiring Realmuto would do more harm to the Angels organization in the long run then the good he would do in the current time. He would probably cost a combination of Adell/Canning or Maitain/Sandoval if not more. Which would delplete the farm that has barely started improving a year ago.

If Torii became the Angels manager he’d have some badass ejections ?

The Rockies fell off for a bit but you can’t count them out when they have a leader like this guy on the squad, would love to see him playing with Trout one day

I don’t think Scioscia would step down a knotch and manage an even worse ball club

CDiaz27? reacted to Memories of 02 in Ohtani's Career Crossroads
If the Angels insist on making a starter out of Ohtani, he will go the way of Richards. In and out ot the DL. In and out of hospitals. He will be on the DL. He will have multiple surgeries and he will eventually likely opt for career threatening Tommy John surgery in the end. If he does this, he will end up like Richards. He will be largely ineffective, and lose literally years of playing time. Pitchers who rely on their FB, as their main pitch, like Richards and Ohtani, lose an average of 5 to 7 mph off of their heaters, after TJ, and become quite ordinary.
Even if the Angels decide to go to a 6 man rotation, Ohtani, with his delivery could not handle a 140 inning workload, and will eventually succumb to endless injuries, on his way to the last resort of TJS.
There is an answer to all this. A way to save the Ohtani arm and shoot a bolt of lightning into the Angel attack.
1, Ohtani becomes the Angel closer. This gives him a max of 70 IP's a year, and that 98 to 100 mph heater insuring Angel late inning V's. It's like money in the bank.
2. Ohtani also becomes the Angels every day first baseman. Not only does this give the Angels an excellent clean up hitter, but it moves Albert upstairs, before he goes full Abreu/ Wells on us next year, where he can relax and fulfill the remaining years of his contract as by far, the most expensive, assistant GM in baseball history. Not only will he be great company for Arte, but he can enjoy his twinkees and converse with his stock broker and not worry about not getting around on the FB anymore.
This leaves a future thunderbolt of a first 7 in the batting order, (if they are played every day, and given patience, patience, patience), plus the best closer in the bigs.
1. Simmons SS
2. Ward 3B
3. Trout CF
4. Ohtani 1B
5. Upton LF
6. Blash RF
7. Fletcher 2B
This lineup, if not deviated from in any way, will have the Angels in the playoffs in 2019. Yes, even with the Astros and A's in your same division.
It's a win win.The beautiful, part of it is that no more deals are at all necessary. What is necessary is what Astro management had, when they put a team of young players that they believed sincerely in, on their way to a World Championship, on the field, that was the laughing stock and worst team in baseball for three years running. The A's did an Astro replay, right out of their playbook.
Patience, Patience, Patience is the necessary ingredient. The ability to lose, in order to win.
