If they clear him to hit the whole season, and we know he won't pitch in 2019, I'm expecting 40+ home runs and above .800 OPS. Really, the sky's the limit for him if he recovers from his surgery to the same level he pitched at before. Certainly not every pitcher does though, so perhaps you'll turn out to be correct.

By the way, Angels have two more two-way players under development in the minors. I love that they're recognizing the value and innovating... innovation is not something this franchise has previously been known for.

I'm just glad that in my middle to late years of life I get to watch in Trout and Ohtani two of the most uniquely exciting players in the history of the game from premium club seats! Add them to the uniqueness of Nolan Ryan, Jim Abbott, and Vladimir Guerrero, and I feel that Angel fans have indeed been blessed by heaven.

Do you see Tim Salmon, Jim Edmonds and Garret Anderson? thats was an awesome trio in the fields too.
