Definitely preferable to the Ichi-rolls in Seattle's park.

Nothing really, but no reason not to make a pitch.  Also, although a moot point now, a fair criticism the FO knew there was at least a good chance he'd be posted and they weren't going to use the slots, why not save them for Ohtani.  They had 5.75 million to start with.  Then you hire someone he is close to from Japan to help make him at home and all of a sudden you have a compelling case for perhaps the most talented cost controlled major league ready player in recent history.

One reason: PA.

A reason would be that the Orioles will not offer a posting for him.

Ahhh, the OH faithful.  It never fails.  If there's an FA out there, there's a hope and a prayer.  It's akin to a dog hoping for table scraps.  There's just always a look of hope on their with a good dose of pleading mixed in.  

Remember when we were gonna get Teixeira?  Those were the good old days.

I remember the three times we were going to get AJ Burnett.

Oh yeah, because he grew up near Baltimore or something.  Or had family here, that was sure to make him want to come play here.

I remember when we were all in on Prince Fielder, too.

I got hooked on the OH from following the Vlad Guerrero signing in 2003.

I wonder how he is going to fare with all the hype surrounding him.

I wonder if other team fanbases are rabid after him, too?

Evidently he is also an 80 runner.

Does he walk on water and can he heal the lame?

I remember JTrea being all in on Prince Fielder.  Not so much the Orioles, thankfully.
