I know he got a $700 million dollar contract with the Dodgers but I never heard what the Angels got?

Honestly, I get it for a somewhat smaller market team. The guy gets injured. Then you've got a field Full of replacement level players.

Remember that the Dbacks went to the World Series last year, and the Padres will fold like a cheap suitcase against this Dodgers team.
Arizona probably would too, but if they make it in and get rolling again they might surprise some teams. They know what it takes now to go deep. Same with the Phillies.

Maybe in a weird way they wanted to help Ohtani's career and not end up like Trout?

when he left 1/3 of their offense went with him....when Trout went down there went another third.....

I saw today that Ohtani is having Bonds's 11th best offensive season.

i dont see how they figured that out,the guy has 50 homers and 120 plus RBI's....that beats a lot of bonds single season numbers....I saw today that Ohtani is having Bonds's 11th best offensive season.

the baseball reference guide was asked what is the best measure of how good a player is... they said their "experts" say its a combination of OPS and OPS+....which they said these numbers tell you how good a season they are having and the other tells you how they match up against the league and other players....thats what they go by anyway...

That of course is not fully true and is limited.
One guy has a higher OPS, but plays fewer games? Not as valuable, possibly.
That's why WAR exists.

BTW,.if you go by OPS, Ohtani is having Bonds's 14TH BEST season.
14.
Wow.
Bonds's CAREER OPS is 38 points higher than Ohtani's OPS this season. (1.051 vs 1.013)

How many great offensive seasons did Bonds have without being juiced to the max? He went from a skinny kid to body builder size, he didn't even look like the same person.I saw today that Ohtani is having Bonds's 11th best offensive season.

Probably most of them.
Just like the pitchers he was hitting against and the other hitters in the league.

you have to have a certain amount of games played and a certain amount of at bats to be on any top 10 lists....

ruth pitched only in the dead ball era when he hit occasionally until 1919....after 1920 he never pitched again.....

Yes, 3.1 PAs per scheduled game.
156 games so far = 483 PAs
21 hitters have over 650 already.
That's amost 40% more.
Rate stats have their limitations. Thus, WAR.
