Interesting batch of stories. A few comments. I generally dislike changes, but figure the ABS is unstoppable in some form. With the StatCast box and umpire ratings shining a light on every problem pitch, it has to come. With it will be additional uniform and/or cap advertising (ugh). Since everyone under the sun has an Ohtani prediction, I will, too. I think the Giants will go huge for him. They will be done with Crawford and have a year left with Conforto, if I recall. Pederson is a FA. They are loaded with money, missed out on Correa/Judge, and have a large Asian population in the area to appeal to. Frankly, anyone but the Dodgers is fine with me, though.
