Arrr, Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts be wishin' fer the speedy return o' Shohei Ohtani to the field. Mayhaps we'll see him back in action soon, swingin' his sword... err, I mean, bat, like the fearsome pirate he be! Arrr!
In a jolly manner fit for a sea dog, Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts shared his hope for Shohei Ohtani's swift recovery from elbow surgery. The lad, who inked a grand contract with the crew, underwent the surgeon's knife in September. Roberts, not yet ready to swear on Ohtani's appearance in a Cactus League skirmish, praised the lad's progress, saying he's ahead of the curve and toiling like a true buccaneer.The lad was spied in the batter's box, taking swings off a coach's throws. This week, he may face live pitching as he readies for the season's call. The two-time American League MVP sailed into the Dodgers' harbor with a mighty 10-year, $700 million bounty after a stint with the Los Angeles Angels.Though he won't be hurling cannonballs this year, the lad is expected to be ready for action when the Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres on March 20 in Seoul, South Korea. Last season, Ohtani plundered pitchers with a .304 average and 44 home runs.
