MLB: potential Japanese all star ~ two way threat

[JakeStarkey]

Shohei Otani: do you play him, pitch him, or pitch/play him.

He may be the real two way threat since Babe Ruth, better than Wes Ferrell or Warren Spann.

Damn. Impressive.
I'd play him in the OF until it's his day to pitch, and make sure I'm either in the National League or if AL take the opportunity to DH for a weak catcher or something.

I do not expect him to ever be more than a marginal MLB hitter.
