The video doesn't show anything, for what its worth. Shows a plane flying low to the water going away from the camera and after about 3 seconds its a tiny spec in the video and the video doesn't show the plane crashing.

Carlosologist posted:what's on everyone's offseason wishlist? Well the Angels re-signed Upton so they should have the first competent starting left fielder since forever.* I hope they don't sign Moose, I hope that they get someone capable of hitting and playing 3B/2B though. I hope the entire starting pitching staff doesn't get season ending injuries this year.

Whenever I feel bad about some of the Angels contracts they've handed out I think about how the Reds gave Homer Bailey 100 million dollars. It still hurts, but it hurts just a bit less.

Downballot votes don't really matter. Altuve & Judge were clearly 1/2 and Trout & Ramirez were clearly on a second tier from them and thats exactly how the voting went. At least this year there was a debate, if Harper & Trout are both healthy all year they each run away with the MVP I think, at least Trout does.

9 out of 10 correct votes is a good ballot. Vizquel was a good but not great player that played for forever. I wouldn't put up Hoffman before Wagner but I think they're both HoF relievers. Realistically there are like 15+ guys that should be in the hall on this ballot so the odds are as long as you fill out the full 10 you're going to have a good ballot.

Without doing the math I assume that California's taxes are worse than Florida's so he'd actually be losing money going to the Giants. He should be an Angel anyways. The 80 million dollar a year outfield.

Billy Eppler announced this only happened for the international pool money to go after Ohtani. At least they'll try. They've got "Exists in California" and "At least theoretically competitive if you cross your eyes" as items on their checklist. Any word if Ohtani is addicted to Disneyland?

humpthewind posted:Phillies did it with Oswalt I believe a few years ago. There's a picture of him with a poo poo eating grin in the outfield but phone posting makes it tough to find. I don't think he came back in to pitch, I think he just pinch hit and then played the field because the Phillies were out of position players. I think having Ohtani pitch, play LF and then pitch again would only make sense in a double switch or something where you'd have another pitcher also playing LF. I don't know how much him standing in LF for a batter would be any different than sitting on the bench between innings in terms of his arm cooling off. Probably not ideal though, or even optimal, and if he ever got hurt that would be the blame regardless of if that was the cause.

Its tricky because of the teams left, half are the NL that don't have the DH as an option so he'd be pinch hitting or playing the field if he is hitting at all. Of the AL teams still talking to him, you've got the Ms, Angels and Rangers. Ms would be willing to move Cruz around to the field on days when Ohtani can DH. Rangers rotated the DH position with Napoli, Beltre and Choo. Angels have an unmovable DH in Pujols so I don't know what they'd do there.

Dutchy posted:pujols basically did stay healthy, didn't he? i mean he got old and can't move and maybe had some nagging things but he only missed significant time in a season like once. not really comparable to griffey's entire early 30s getting derailed He's had offseason surgery like 3 or 4 times as an Angel and basically lives with plantar fasciitis. Normal 30-35 year olds can still run without being in agonizing pain.

Intruder posted:Yeah I remember when he was in his early 20s and looked older than my dad He probably has. He's been a question mark if he'd be healthy for spring training or would miss time every year. I remember the Angels having a rotation of Jered Weaver, Zack Greinke, CJ Wilson, Dan Haren, and Ervin Santana and missed the playoffs. Angels are good at getting guys passed their primes or having down years at the most inopportune time.

Angry Grimace posted:The Braves castoffs are permitted to be signed with money from 2018 international bonus pools because of the Coppolella bullshit. One or both of the Angels and/or Mariners are going to get fleeced by the Marlins/Twins because they both can't sign Otani. I was under the impression that they could be signed with money from either 2017-2018 or 2018-2019 (The Angels have already spent $2M+ of this on Maitan).

Drunk Canuck posted:https://twitter.com/SamMillerBB/status/939212206796808192 This guy already said hes just saying random poo poo. I forsee Ohtani getting reps hitting/fielding in Spring when they're only throwing 2-3 innings anyways and slowly being more pitching centric. Pitch Off DH DH Off Pitch Seems like an OK approach. I have a hard time believing he isn't a better hitter than Pujols or Cron at this point.

Curious what number Ohtani picks. Think he'll stay with 16? 16 or 18 are both available. 11 is retired (Fregosi).
