man, i want him to do as well as the next guy, but the big difference right now is these guys all have major league experience, something ohtani has yet to acquire. i don't see any harm in starting him in AAA if that's what's best for him and the team in the long run (it worked out well for weaver). i don't want to see him start in anaheim and get so completely rocked that he never finds his way clear to being successful here. i'd go the cautious route with him.
