I like this kid because he is stupidly passing up on millions to prove he's a stud today instead of waiting 2 years. We see the same thing with the Cubans. The less these executives see of a player, the more they seem to like them which is completely counterintuitive to the analytics age. I guess they are as susceptible as everyone else to wanting to believe in a myth |

Jeff PassanVerified account @JeffPassan 31m31 minutes ago Sources: Shohei Ohtani is done interviewing the seven finalists to sign him. His last meeting was actually Tuesday night with the San Diego Padres. Next, presumably, will be his decision. Timetable is not clear yet, but it could well be soon. |

Looks like it the Angels. Didn't see that one coming. It's a great get for them. They sure as hell can use him. |

On MLB Radio the talking heads were saying that the Angels are still something silly like $40M under the cap. One talking head was suggesting that they should go for both Moustakas and Lynn, the other was sort of leaning toward just going for Jake. It seems like the under on w/l for the A's is going to be a good bet this year. |

Billy Eppler has done a hell of a job in the short time he’s been there. He stole Simmons and Upton from the Braves and Tigers and he signed a couple of the wayward Braves prospects and now he snags Ohtani. Dude’s doin some work. |

White Sox ever had an Asian player? At least Theo tried. I had no idea if it would work out. Don't those Asians play with smaller balls? |

MLB Network is showing a 2014 game Ohtani threw against a MLB all star team. He struck out Morneau and Longoria to end the 1st. Threw two high fastballs right by Longoria. |

and he dropped in two slow nose to toes curveballs to start off Zobrist then finished him off with a nasty splitty. At that time he was 20 years old |

Partially torn UCL.....nice. I thought his statement about getting the PRP treatments as a purely preventative measure was fishy. |
