**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) 23-year old Japanese prospect Shohei Ohtani signed with the Angels. From CBSSports.com:

“Because he is only 23, Ohtani is subject to MLB’s international hard cap. The Angels have $2.315 million in cap space and certainly all of that will go to Ohtani. Both the Mariners ($3.5575 million) and Rangers ($3.535 million) had more to offer, though Ohtani will instead head to Anaheim. The Angels will pay the (Nippon Ham) Fighters a $20 million posting fee.”

Ohtani wants to pitch and also be a position player in the majors. In Japan, he pitched most every Sunday, he DH’d Tuesday-Thursday and rested Friday-Saturday. Starting pitchers in Japan generally only pitch once a week; most Mondays are off days.

12) Cleveland Browns fired their GM, then hired former Chiefs’ GM John Dorsey the same day; one of Dorsey’s first moves was to dump WR Kenny Britt, who had signed a 4-year deal with Cleveland, with over $10M guaranteed.

This is called addition by subtraction; you wait and see, the Browns will be good fairly soon. I’ll predict they make the playoffs in 2019.

11) From Football Perspective: Jets ran the ball 49 times against the Chiefs despite allowing 31 points, which basically never happens. Since 1983, no team has had 50 rush attempts when allowing 31+ points.

10) If Giancarlo Stanton wants to play for the Dodgers and has veto power over any trade, why would the Marlins think he would agree to play in San Francisco?

Now it looks like Stanton (not surprisingly) will wind up in the Bronx or Dodger Stadium.

9) Of the last 30 National League teams to make playoffs, 26 ranked in the top-5 in league in rotation ERA, so teams pouting about not landing Stanton should try to improve their pitching.

8) According to the Fieldhouse, here are their top 4 mid-major basketball teams:
Nevada, Rhode Island, St Mary’s, Northern Iowa.

Not sure how St Mary’s is a mid-major but Gonzaga isn’t, seeing how they’re in the same league, but Gonzaga isn’t in their poll. My alma mater Albany is #17 in this poll.

7) The Big 14 is having its basketball tournament in Madison Square Garden in March; it is said to be a one-time thing— they’ll be in Chicago, Indianapolis twice each from 2019-22. The Big 14 is a midwestern league, despite Maryland/Rutgers’ presence, but greed knows no bounds.

6) Maryland Terrapins have basketball players from eight different countries.

5) Weird basketball season at Louisville; the school’s president, athletic director and basketball coach are all interim. Which spot gets filled first?

4) Exciting times at the University of Delaware; they’re spending $60M to improve their athletic facilities; Notre Dame is in town to play the Blue Hens Saturday- you don’t see ACC teams going on the road for true road games very much.

Delaware coach Martin Ingelsby is a former Notre Dame assistant; Irish coach Mike Brey came to South Bend from Delaware— he still vacations in Rehoboth Beach.

3) Pacers 106, Cavaliers 102— Indiana won its secord straight game with Cleveland, snapping the Cavaliers’ 13-game winning streak, with Oladipo scoring 33 points, with 8 rebounds, 5 assists.

2) Arizona State 82, St John’s 70— Sun Devils outscored St John’s 11-0 over the last 2:43.

1) Now that Ohtani is in Anaheim, what does Seattle do with all that international slot money they traded for? Mariners traded three of their top 10 minor league prospects to the Marlins for Dee Gordon and slot money. Friday had to be a depressing day for the Mariners.
