Does not include the High School Tournaments where guys pitch every day sometimes in Japan. Darvish' father made sure his son was not overworked in HS..
Maybe the wrong quote copied. i was referring to the guy hat said that LAA won the silly, "off-season FA award" and we see how that worked out. It did not work after signing Pujols and CJ Wilson because the rest of the SP/RP staff was not strong
Dont think texas was worried about being better than the Angels. they wanna be better than Oakland and Detroit etc. its a move they needed to make to maximize they chances while guys like Darvish/Fielder and Beltre are still good players..Texas still have a good farm system but I think it makes sense to go for it the next few years
Oakland has gotten better this off-season. its between texas and oakland IMO. if hamilton and old-man Pujols show up then its a 3-team battle. Also yeah the Angels need AT LEAST 1 more starting pitcher. Maybe 2
