    Kimmi's the closest thing we have to a normal person on this board.

    But when you have 12,700+ posts since Jan 2015 on a baseball message board full of nutjobs, I'm afraid that falls a little shy of 100% normal.

    As I said before, you should post more often. You obviously know what you're talking about!

    Big week for the Angels. First Maitan. Then Ohtani. Can Stanton be next?

    Could they afford to realistically add that much payroll? The Angels arent exactly the Oakland A's, but I have always viewed them as pretty conservative, especially after the Pujols signing.

    Probably not.

    Also I believe they were not on his short list. Although thst was probably an oversight and he'd probably ok the deal...

    LAA makes sense for Otani because he has the chance to become their Ace. Their starting rotation isn't exactly full of world beaters. And they are willing to DH him on off days. LA market is also a pretty big market. And for some reason Japanese like West Coast better. The weather, maybe or is it just easier to fly home over the holidays?
