Which team(s) fit that besides us?Oakland and California are out.

The article I read made it sound like Oakland was out as well. Not trying to get too excited but I think the Mariners are the odds on favorite. I like that he told the Yanks and Red Sox to take a walk. :lol:

Hernandez, Darvish, Ohtani, Paxton, and Iwakuma would be an awesome rotation. Not sure if the M's will go after Darvish, but if Ohtani does go with the M's, that would probably give Darvish some interest. That would be a really, really cool, fun and awesome starting rotation to watch.

Giants and Padres.

There are seven teams still in the running. The Angels, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Mariners, Padres, and Rangers.

With the Yankees being eliminated, the Seattle Mariners are rumored to be the front-runners for Japanese two-way player Shohei Ohtani.

Don't mess it up M's

He brings a lot of questions in regards to where he will bat, when and position.

 

[getnasty]

Has there ever been a player that has pitched and then played the field in the last 50 years? Is that the plan or will they just choose one over the other? This is to good to be true

One thing I read is-He does not want a fellow Japanese player on the team..
Bye Bye Dodgers.He does not want to be in a big market..Bye Bye a lot of teams.

Was reading where he'd pitch, have an off day, play rt field the following 3 days. Cruz would play rt field on his off day. Not sure whether or not there is plans to have him hit if he pitches or not.. can you pitch and DH at the same time? If so, can you stay in the game as a DH if your taken out.. lot of things going on.

 

[IndyHawk]

You can pitch and hit in the AL but you lose the DH for the game.
You could pitch and not hit but lets say in the 6th you get a relief pitcher
The starter can move to the outfield and take that players spot and you still retain the DH.

I think I'd rather get a guy like Lance Lynn or Alex Cobb instead of Darvish considering they'll cost a bit less, thus having more money in the budget for a free agent CF like Lorenzo Cain.

Paxton
Lynn/Cobb
Ohtani
Felix
Leake

Iwakuma
Gonzales
Miranda
Ramirez

Pretty solid rotation other than the fact of only one LHP.

I'd be happy with that :2thumbs:

hmmmm...if this true....didn't the M's just re-sign Iwakuma? M's will be true to form and find a way to screw this up. He'll end up going to the SF Giants.

If that is true I think he would consider waiving that clause if he signs with the M's. Maybe they won't go after Darvish, but Seattle has a very good Japanese culture, and Seattle has had a long history of successful Japanese players. Ohtani could learn a thing or two from Iwakuma while during ST.

At least if he has to be teammates with Iwakuma, Ohtani could lead the team - Iwakuma will be just another pitcher in the pitching rotation so Ohtani would still be the face of the pitching staff.

Just my $0.02. I can't take an educated guess where he signs.

If the M's know they are getting Ohtani but Kuma is in the way.
Bye Bye Kuma..He is signed to to a Tacoma contract anyway if you didn't know.

Who is this guy? Is he big power hitter or something? What's his comp player? Sounds like a punk diva like the Manning brothers in the NFL. He better be at least as good as as Peyton (surefire HOF type) in my opinion.

 

[chris98251]

He is a Pitcher that can really hit also from what I saw.
