    I'd say the AL is much more likely since he can DH and not risk running into a wall/being a defensive liability on days he's not pitching.

    Has the AL had any (notable) players who DH and pitched before?

    Not yet. That's subject to change though if Otani comes as advertised. I have my doubts though. As far as Japanese hitters go, Ichiro lived up to his hype. That's it. Matsui was "Godzilla" and hitting 50 HR's a year in Japan. He was a solid big league player, but he wasn't exactly Mickey Mantle. Or even Bobby Murcer.

    At least he’s young. Had Ichiro come in a few years earlier, Rose’s official hit record would be a thankful fucking memory.

    To me, Suzuki is the true all time hit king. Unlike Rose he was great his whole career. As a person and player.

    I agree with you on that one. Fuck Pete Rose. I never liked him as a player or a human being.

    I guess the list of who he'll meet with is the Mariners, Giants, Padres, Angels, Rangers, Cubs and Dodgers.

    The following 14 teams had either stated publicly that they were out of the mix or had been reportedly been informed they would not have an opportunity to meet with Ohtani: the Pirates, A's, Yankees, Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, D-backs, Mets, Nationals, Rays, Red Sox, Twins and White Sox.

    Rangers have the biggest bonus, but I think he’ll choose an NL team.

    Giants seem like a safe bet.

    I'm thinking AL so he can DH. I doubt anyone is insane enough to risk him getting injured playing the field when he's not pitching.

    Braves not being able to have an opportunity at an international player? Can't imagine why...

    Putting how tiny Jose Altuve is into perspective:

    Bless his heart, Rafael Palmeiro is talking about making a comeback. He's 53.
