Shohei Otani coming to MLB in 2018

[HHR]

It's about time.

Hope he gets a shot to be a real two-way player.

 

[Professor K.]

Are he and Hunter Greene more ammunition for or against having the DH in both leagues?

i am surprised he came over while his earnings are limited

i think its Cubs or Dodgers for sure, who else is in play? NY?

If Tanaka opts out

will AL teams be penalized since they cant offer him consistent ABs outside pinch hitting here and there?

Everyone, really. Money won't make the difference since every team is limited.

Why is that a penalty? DH? OF?

i dont know .. hard to compute the idea of that happening

hes good enough at plate to be a regular DH in MLB? while not sacrificing his pitching
