If that were the case I'd probably mix the banana with some granola, form fries, and deep fry it to a crisp to serve with the ham and hollandaise. It would probably be alright.

I wish he'd asked for 4000 brown M&Ms, too. That's a solid request and anyone that does it right should have a fair shot.

bawfuls posted:It is cool as hell that teams are having to essentially grovel before Ohtani It's not even really groveling, to be honest. He knows his value, he knows he's not going to get what he's worth, so why not make it a proper job interview with a benefits/perks package? He's probably going to make more for his city than Amazon's new HQ would. And honestly, providing Japanese and English responses would be good form for a team anyway. If they're trying to attract foreign talent, make at least the bare minimum effort to communicate.

The request from Ohtani also explicitly states he does not want teams to mention financial or potential contract terms. It's arguable every team has a legit shot at Ohtani provided they can make themselves look like the most attractive team, bonus pool money be damned.

"We have a vaguely pitcher-friendly park, we let our pitchers hit (See: Wainwright, Adam), you'd be pitching to Yadier Molina and, um, there's the City Museum. Our fans? Oh, they'd totally be cool with a Japanese superstar." Cardinals might as well go full heel and just ship him some Imo's.

Ohtani/Bumgarner platoon would probably be better than what they had in RF last year.

I would assume he wants to start and then play the OF when it's not his turn in the rotation. That's how Nippon Ham used him. Also I knew he threw hard but drat I didn't know he topped out at 102 with movement. And also wins home run derbies.

I may be completely wrong, but would a modern MLB team realistically let Ohtani play the outfield on the days before and after starting as pitcher? It seems like the team would need somebody to cover the outfield position 3/5 of the time who would be okay with not starting every game because "pitcher wants ABs  "Wait, I take back my previous MadBum comment. Obvious answer is to sign Ichiro and pair him with Ohtani in RF. This could work.

At least not as an everyday position player, maybe as a platoon. But I know that's what he wants to do, and well if he can hang and hit better than the other options and put in all the time and work, I guess he has a shot at doing it. Mentally, Ohtani is like...I dunno, Ash Ketchum. He is determined to train to be the VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS. There has to be a better example out there but you know what I mean.

Hotdog In A Hallway posted:Cleveland loves a good platoon, so that’s not a problem. You could also tempt him as being the missing piece to end the longest active World Series drought. Is he even a good platoon if you're forced to time his RF starts based on his pitching starts rather than the handedness of the opposing pitcher? The whole point of a platoon is usually to optimize righty/lefty matchups. I don't know exactly what splits Ohtani has, but I assume his value best comes from starting against RHP if he's part of a platoon. bawfuls posted:Thats how they used him as an 18 year old, but since then they've played him at DH on his non pitching days (minus the days immediately before and after he starts) As I wrote this I checked how DHs did last year and holy  the DH as a whole slashed .244/.318/.419, which is a lower batting average than every position (except pitcher) and the OPS (.737) is lower than every position except catcher and shortstop. So never mind, Ohtani should be a huge improvement for pretty much any team.
