@paysonfox88 Год назад

What people are realizing now is that the man gave up five runs on the mound, but was responsible for 6 in the field. Shohei ohtani allowed five earned runs, but he hit a three-run homer, and got driven in two or three more times. You could say he negated all of the damage that he allowed. So basically, that last start he allowed zero runs because he got back every single bit of what he gave up.

Ohtani is the best Baseball player of all time, right now he has a career average of .270 and a ERA of 2.90, and I like Babe but I also like what Casey Stengal said in the 1960s interview, he said the players now are so much better bigger stronger faster (meaning Mays and Mantle and other's) then when he was playing in the 1920s & 30s. And no one knows Baseball better then Casey Stengal, Babe played against farmers and coal miners, and did'nt train 362 days and play against international worldwide talents like they do today.

@yamamancha Год назад

You think about the show Shohei put on in the WBC and with what he continues to do in the league. Then you look at his global merchandising and marketing value. The TV contracts and social media traffic alone are astronomical. He's the only player getting merchandise sections at shops in opponent stadiums. And he's in the CY Young and MVP race every year. On top of that, Harper and Cole signed their contracts a few years ago, so inflation factors into the numbers. $60m/yr might not even get a return call from his agent.

Angels are where you go to end a good career... Or bottom it out. Josh Hamilton was lights-out in Texas, he got to the angels and he was done. C.j. Wilson was a good hurler for the Texas Rangers, a couple of years after he got to the Anaheim Angels he was done.

Just the fact that a starting pitcher flirts with a cycle is incredible. He did it twice in a span of two weeks! Hopefully he gets it soon but the opportunity for such a scenario is pretty improbable so it might be a while if ever.

@cd.cd.cd.cd-cd Год назад

The bidding starts at 600 mil for 10 years if you ask me - he is an elite hitter and elite pitcher in the same person. So if elite hitters cost $30-35 mil and elite pitchers $30-40 mil you do the math. You have to pay him as if he is two players, (1) $30 mil for his hitting and (2) another 30 mil for his pitching its unprecedented how he is gonna be valued would love to be his agent. If Schezer and Verlander currently get about $43 mil only to pitch every 5th day and he has not only pitched better than them but he is also an MVP level hitter, I don’t see how he gets less than $60 mil. In fact if you go by the going market rat he is closer to $70 mil he is worth 35 mil as a hitter and another 35 mil for his pitching, unreal

One thing is for sure, his next contract is gonna be the biggest contract in American sports history. Mike's contract was the biggest in baseball, and Shohei is worth more these days. I think if he hits 30 bombs and wins 15 (which it's looking like he will), he'll get 2023 MVP and take a $500m+ contract somewhere. Can't imagine it'll be the Angels with the #1 and #2 biggest contracts in baseball, he'll probably end up in either in New York or San Diego, would be my guess.

@wilburwood8261 Год назад

He is definitely NOT going to the Padres, Mets and the Blue Jays. Ohtani has said before he does not want to play on a team with an established Japanese star already. Especially if that player is a starting pitcher like him. And he wants to go to a perrenial contender, so it probably has to be big market team afraid of not using money this time around, different from his thinking in prioritizing a team in 2018. So it has to be the Dodgers or the Yankees. And to a lesser extent, Red Sox (but they have Yoshida), Cubs (but they have Suzuki), Rangers, Mariners (but then he has to compete with the Angels whom he feels certain obligation of sticking with him when he was down at the beginning of his MLB career until he became this unicorn). Astros, Rays, Braves if he does not care about money but VERY VERY unlikely. Other western teams Giants, Dbacks, Rockies, Athletics no chance.

I agree that you do not trade the Mona Lisa. The difference here is that the Mona Lisa can't walk away and choose where it wants to be displayed. But Ohtani can, and if they don't make the playoffs, he will. Everyone can agree that he is a goner if they don't make the playoffs this year. In my opinion, he is gone even if they make the playoffs. The only way I see him staying is if they make a deep playoff run and do not just lose in the first round. So why not trade him if you know you have a 0% chance of making the playoffs? I think we can all agree that at that point, the dumbest thing the angels can do is not trade him. But they are the Angels so they won't do the smart thing and trade him.

Last season in an Anegls game at Anaheim, I saw some folks with a banner saying "flew from to see Ohtani" which I reckon baseball is not that popular in those countries. That is spectular!

you are right. I was one of those. LOL. I flew from Taipei Taiwan to watch his games (one in Anaheim Angels stadium and another at T-Mobile park in Seattle). I bought a jersey for me and another for my son. but i didn't make any banners/signs. Here in Taiwan, the sports channels broacasts almost every Angels games daily (instead of showing RedSox games or other teams that has Taiwanese players in it, which was a standard broadcasting practice in the past). And they make special broadcasts whenever Ohtani is scheduled as starting pitcher. I was a loyal fan of NBA, NFL, etc (>20 years of following and fantasy games).

I don’t get their point. Yes, he’s extremely valuable and you want to keep him as long as they can. But if they’re in 3rd-4th place at the deadline and don’t think they can keep him, they have to make a trade. You can’t lose him for nothing. At least try to come up with a couple solid players and prospects. Better than hanging on to him and missing the playoffs anyway only to watch him walk.
