so wait

why, if his salary would have been fucking astronomically higher, did he opt to get posted this offseason?

Want to sexer the Recker

...

that question was just answered like 10 minutes ago

>THIS IS SURELY THE END OF LE MEME NIPPY XDDDDD
>Ohtani, the 23-year-old right-handed pitcher and left-handed power hitter who signed with the Angels on Saturday after a frenzied recruiting process, has a first-degree sprain of his right UCL, according to a report dated Nov. 28 and performed by Dr. Masamitsu Tsuchiya at Doai Kinen Hospital in Tokyo.

>While a first-degree sprain is the least severe of UCL injuries, further damage could lead to Tommy John surgery, a reconstructive procedure that sidelines pitchers for a year. The shot of PRP, a biologic of centrifuge-spun blood that is used to promote healing, was administered Oct. 20, according to the report, which was distributed to teams after Ohtani entered Major League Baseball’s posting system. Ohtani, the report said, “will be most likely available to start his throwing program approximately a month from the PRP.” Sports Illustrated first reported that Ohtani had received the PRP shot.

You realize that it's just a sprain and merely a precaution? Ohtani will be fine as long as he's not being used too much for pitching. My god, this general is filled with the dumbest brainlets in any general imaginable. Odds are Eppler was aware of this well beforehand.

Texas will get Arrieta, Greinke and Darvish desu

He wanted to come over now.

damage is damage. Chances are very high now that Ohtani will need to get Tommy Johns at some point in the future. His arm is a ticking timebomb

...

And bankrupt themselves in the process. Such is the intelligence of a >rags fan.

How much hotel room gangbanging occurs at Winter Meetings?

F

I never said it was a smart decision or pledge my fandom. I just said what is going to occur.

pedo's btfo

honestly, the baseball front office crowd strikes me as duck out and get in bed by eleven types

I bet some FO's do heroic amounts of cocaine

uhhhhhhh do any lifelongs want to explain this drew smyly signing? is this 5D mahjong by theo? lol

i think that's probably how it was up until this recent wave of ivy league nerds. something tells me they consider it a wild night when they have two michelob ultras too many

>The #Indians have contacted the #Cubs about Javier Baez.Cleveland is reportedly looking for power hitting, right-handed bats, view Baez as an option.

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I remember watching Intentional Talk during the winter meetings like one or two seasons ago and they had Kevin Millars wife in via phone and Rose said something like "don't worry about Kevin. He hasn't had anyone in his hotel room or anything like that. He is well behaved"

As soon as he said the hotel thing Kevin's facial expression changed dramatically. Like that deer in the headlights look.
So I'm sure there's a lot of orgies going on

>le swing at pitches in the left handed batter's box man
>le quirky tag man
>le flashy defense man

> your team has made more joke moves on twitter than real winter meeting moves

i will venmo you to come end my life

This honestly. Nobody drinks until the last day, and even then not in the hotel/resort bars. Just some booze with friends in a team suite that's obviously not on expense account for the event. There's honestly a lot of backstabbing in the scouting community. Some asshole who wants to get their friend a job, is going to snap a picture of you at a bar wasted to your boss. Then talk behind your back about your motivation and performance.

>damn shame all those balconies aren't filled with booze, yayo, and escorts.

For as much as y'all make fun of "rags", we sure do attract a lot of free agents

lel

MARINERS!

Angels will be the 2018 Mets

>Angels are the AL version of the Mest

>we are great at attracting free agents
>t-this will surely win us a world series, right?
>hol up, we dem boyz
>oh no it's just one month, our bullpen will bounce back, i swear!
>who cares at this point, i got my cowboys to look forward to!!
>hol up, we dem boyz

that's the gaylord opryland just outside of nashville, the meetings were there two years ago. my work put us up there for a weekend and that fuckin' place is too expensive to get wasted

trust me, i tried

The Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros are locks for the playoffs so that only leaves one wild card spot for the angels to slip into
I have a feeling the Rays are going to be A LOT better than people think even after trading some players off and the Indians and Twins are both good. Athletics could pull off some meme shit.
Far from a sure thing that the Angels get into the playoffs. Rangers upgrading the SP would change things too.

the years i went to the meetings it was hosted there, it was a really nice place, just expensive as you said.

haha, my rising tolerance now has probably put it out of my price range as well.

...

Thanks, just another reason why I hate the Rangers and their double digit IQ fans.

I'm a Ranger fan and I guarantee you my IQ is higher than yours bitch. Post your IQ

Finally someone says it

YEAH JEETS! THANKS FOR BUSTING UP OHTANI! FUCK YEAH JEETS!

>analslime

I bet they all take some form of derivative amphetamine during their work week though. Not recreational but I know that shift has happened in finance.

strike away

oh you can bet adderall is front office candy

My IQ's one strike away from being quadruple digits. Unlike you, I won't blow it.

Well this has always been true so nothing has changed tbqh

Do you work in or tangentially to baseball?

>cucktani diagnosed with ucl sprain during physical

la ciudad de miguel pescao

lmao

my fuckn sides

you cannot make this up

Reminder that the baseball team from San Fransisco are forever to be branded as the Gnats because they're all annoying bugs who won't go away, even when they're insignificant.

ohtani won't play in the majors for this season and it's likely when he does he won't be the same. fucking angels sell him for scraps

lol.

entry level work for a couple minor league teams in the past that I obtained at the job fair that is hosted at the winter meetings.

You're dumb

Why give up just now? This was old news. Eppler was aware of this before signing him. If they can work it out then they can work it out. If anything Sho gets 7 years here, not 6, the extra year being his TJS holdover. Lest we forget he also is a hitter.

Reminder that the Cubs are fraudulent and the drug results WILL be released

Taco Bell is not a minor league team and eating food is not entry level work.

I take it you've spent less than 3 months browsing this general and you like to Reddit space in your other posts.

you're fat

Can Othani just be a full time DH in 2018 even if his throwing elbow is fugged

kek

>newfag

>gnats

I bet you're the lifelong trying to convince everyone that gnats = giants

Today, I refuse to pile on with the child-like choir that has found itself in this forum. My eyes were eager to watch Shohei Ohtani perform in the highest level professional baseball league on the greatest stage we call the MLB. Today is a sad day for baseball domestically and internationally. I regret that I am in the company of petulant and toxic proles, who cherish the injury of a bright burning star. Today, I weep. (You).

that's pretty cool. Yeah I heard it was a job fair of sorts.

guide for newfags:

Gnats = Nationals
Jints = Giants

You're fat.

Would have to get surgery first and just be used as a DH but idk really.
>When reached late Tuesday, Angels general manager Billy Eppler told Yahoo Sports: “Shohei underwent a thorough physical with MRI scans to both his elbow and his shoulder. Those are scans we conduct whenever we sign a pitcher. Based on the readings of those MRIs, there are not signs of acute trauma in the elbow. It looks consistent with players his age. We are pleased with the results of the physical and we are very happy to have the player."
Ohtani had this diagnosis about a month ago too. It's only being reported now instead of before to blow up a media shitstorm.

O'Leary literally predicted this.

When will /mlb/ finally apologize?

Here's the non-reddit guide to team names on Sup Forums
Nationals = Walgreens
Giants = Gnats

Sticky this pls

Better to be Reddit than a newfag, which you are.

LOL

You're fat.

You all make fun and are obsessed with R*ddit but if you don't have a twitter account its the best website that aggregates new baseball news the fastest. I get that reddit the insult is more about the censorship the site uses but whatever I've been getting banned from Sup Forums recently for posting off topic replies.

Aggregate this, unzips my dick out.

>gnatfag damage control

>this post

Chris O'Leary predicted Ohtani would be Tommy'd

Say sorry

do you screen cap every delusional fan or just cubs fans?

Christ, is there anyone more butt devastated than this faggot right now?

I was sincerely asking

Fucking Boystown.
