Lmao at spring training batting average.
It means about as much as ST walks. What he did last year is really the only thing to go on until we get to the regular season.

Part of me is glad the Rangers aren't having to deal with the scheduling it will take to accommodate Ohtani's two-way contribution.

I hear that........I don't doubt he's got the "potential" to become a solid pitcher in the majors. But apparently his hitting is lagging way behind his arm. Makes me wonder if they won't put him at AAA for a month anyway if for no other reason, acclamation purposes.

Or they could say, hey, you don't get to hit.

They are, per Cots Contracts, around $35 million under their 2017 payroll
