that said he would have borne all the financial risk so they would have done it anyways if it meant convincing him to sign. but that's why he would have been less willing to go to the nl anyways.

I think Scoscia is going to get pressured to put him at DH as an every day player until he starts showing signs of fatigue on the mound. What we've seen of him hitting has been too good. Scouts are rating this guy as the best athlete in Major League Baseball. He's not gonna get fatigued at DH - He played way more than this in Japan. He should be batting right after Mike Trout. 3rd, not 8th!

when i watched that 60-minutes piece on him i thought he would for sure be a yuge star.

then in the offseason there was word he had tiny tears in his elbow, and he struggled big-time in the preseason, so i stayed away in my fantasy draft.

but i'm rooting for him to be a monster.

check out this historical list. it's early in the season, pitchers will find holes in his swing eventually, etc etc, but "very" is indeed tcr.

it just seems weird that the angels are currently out of the playoffs even though cleveland is barely above .50

that doesn't strike you as LOL? has a team with a losing record ever made to the playoffs because of this?

But anyway, "winning" the wildcard shouldn't come with the same reward as wining a division. The 1 game playoff they get to participate in is a gift but also a punishment, if that makes sense.

They should expand divisional series to 7 games though

Tommy John surgery here we come!

pitchers now throw their brains out. fastballs are max effort. it puts an incredible repetitive strain on the elbow.
