Thor’sLinks: Don’t Forget Ohtani-San

THE HOT CORNER

I know what you are thinking, and it needs to stop.

You are thinking that we need 3 strong starting pitchers, the kind that will stay healthy enough to chew up 200 innings each across a complete season. This is why a Hyun-Jin Ryu at 3 years and 45 Million is still too risky, since he cannot be counted on to stay healthy and give those innings.

Well, we may need 3 starting pitchers but we don’t need 3 innings eaters. Why not? Because you have forgotten that Shohei Ohtani is back and has a need for a 6-man rotation, and Ohtani will be getting 6 days rest between starts.
