Will be fun to watch all 5 of his starts this year.

[General Malaise]

Thank you for saving me from myself

We're all going to die of the Mexican beer flu soon enough, why not enjoy the time we have left?  Ohtani will pitch his first game in May....I think I can make it that long.

So dumb that he's still not one player...their original reasoning was they didn't have enough time to do the work to make him a single player.

Dumb guy question: where would single player hitter and pitcher Ohtani be drafted?

in your butt

Probably not his butt, tho.....might get lost up in that one.

I did find the twitter of Yahoo fantasy's lead designer and its fun to see people still take shots at him about the Ohtani thing.

This year maybe just a round or so higher.  He really needs to prove he can make it a whole year doing both...but think of the tremendous upside!  (rip tup)

I dunno, but if he met some sort of projected average over 162 games for both using very limited sample size, you're talking about a guy who could hit 30 HR/90 RBI with 17 SB and a nice OBP north of .350 to go along with an ERA of 3.31/1.16 WHIP and a K/9 rate of 11.  Being employed as both frees a roster spot up on your team for another body too.  But, he's not going to start more than 20-25 games, won't hit and pitch in the same games (per Maddon) and will likely take a day off after he pitches, so he's unlikely to get those offensive numbers and really, what do we have to compare him to?  Mudcat Magill and Old Hickory Haynes from before electricity?  What kind of toll will this take on his body over an entire summer?

Aaron Judge (right pectoral discomfort) is undergoing another round of testing today, but Aaron Boone would not reveal what the tests were. No diagnosis is being provided at this point.

Meeting some buddies for dinner.  Hurry up.

I will take a list from anyone

Big fan 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

What do you mean by this?

Exactly what I said?

Other sites have just one Ohtani and you can put him at UT or P.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

What do you mean by this?

I assume the website code would need to be modified in a significant way to allow one Ohtani to play as a pitcher or hitter.

Yes, that's what they said in 2017.

So on days he pitched you’d have to pick? 
Does he bat on days he starts?

 

[shuke]

wat

ON DAYS THAT OHTANI PITCHES DOES HE BAT IN THE DH SPOT?

IF YOU OWNED OHTANI IN A LEAGUE WHERE HE WAS ONE PLAYER I'M ASSUMING YOU WOULD HAVE TO PICK IF YOU WANTED TO PLAY HIM IN A PITCHER SPOT OR BATTER SPOT.  

ANYTHING ELSE?

[wikkidpissah]

IT'S PRETTY WELL KNOWN ON DAYS OHTANI PITCHES, HE DOESN'T HIT.  

IIRC, NOR ON THE DAY BEFORE OR AFTER. SO IT'S 3 HITTING DAYS/WK MAX IF HE'S IN THE ROTATION

I think Yahoo?!1 has McKay listed as two separate players too.  So he's still avail as a hitter, @Cappy's SandwichMakingBoyfri

@wikkidpissah

This pick was for me since this is obviously not clear.  

@wikkidpissah you're up.

 

[cosjobs]
