[QUOTE="Golden Tornadoes, post: 957062, member: 5881"] I think we are seeing the reason why MLB teams want a player to either pitch or field. It's really taxing on the body to pitch every 5th or 6th day and either field or DH on the days between. You basically give yourself no time to rest up like a normal pitcher does. Now this isn't a knock against Ohtani's talent, the dude has more baseball skill in one pinky finger than I could ever dream of having, but he would do well to focus on one or the other. However, by doing that, he decreases his net worth and ability to command a $500M+ deal in free agency. I think you are right that by him insisting on being a two-way player, he puts the organization into a bit of a bind in terms of roster construction. You would be forced to carry an extra pitcher which eliminates a potential bench option for depth reasons. All in all its an interesting storyline to watch unfold. I think he will stay on the West Coast with the Dodgers, but they have a certain way of doing things and may ask some things of Ohtani that he might not be willing to do. [/QUOTE]
