Correct me if I'm wrong but even if he never pitches again isnt he still a transcendentally incredible hitter?

mcmagic posted:I guess Angel fans don't hate the Dodgers the way Met fans hate the Yankees i've been told but i don't care. It's chickenshit behavior to go to the better team in the same city. I will be rooting for both Ohtani and the Dodgers to fail. I’d never begrudge a man for jumping ship to the Angels to somewhere more competitive that will pay him

MJeff posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but even if he never pitches again isnt he still a transcendentally incredible hitter? That's a bit much. He's a Hall of Fame caliber hitter, but he's not on a Pujols/Bonds level. A fair match for Ken Griffey Jr. as a hitter. Especially taking marketing into account he is worth $70M a year just as a hitter, at least for the next few years.

MJeff posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but even if he never pitches again isnt he still a transcendentally incredible hitter? prime Frank Thomas maybe? He's a very, very, very good hitter and pitcher but the value comes from being both in one player. I wonder what another inner circle, all-time great would get in a similar spot. Like if you can sign Willie Mays coming off his age 29 season with a career OPS+ of 158 and 60 bWAR, does he sniff a 10 year/$70 million AAV deal?

Soto's going to be 26 and isn't going to sniff that much money.

The cubs would've objectively been the best destination after staying with the Angels. Jays would've been fine. This is just gross.
