I guess it depends where your team is. The Sox's window is now and we aren't waiting a few years to find out what Ohtani can be.
But as I've been saying, we've seen it time and time again. Prospects get hyped and then turn out to be the definition of average. Anyone remember Daisuke...
But in a vacuum, who do you take?
The guy that is just been hyped in Japan and none of us have watched and truthfully don't know much about. Or Stanton who just posted 59 home runs this season with a 156 wRC+.
Give me Stanton, the proven guy. People are hyped all the time before entering the league. What if Ohtani turns out to be meh. It wouldnt be the first time.
I still don't get what this has to do with Red Sox fans. Neither me or Bosox complained about JBJ not winning a glove. Maybe the Red Sox fans on facebook posts are a little nuts, but every fan base is like that. You should see the posts on TSN posted from Twitter about Buxton getting the gold...
Beyond heartbreaking. I'm not a Jays fan but I always respected Halladay and his image around the city. Class act guy.
Hopefully he gets voted into the HOF. One of the best pitchers I grew up watching.
