The San Francisco Giants acquired outfield Andrew McCutchen last week for two players. The rebuilding Pirates got pitcher Kyle Crick, minor league outfielder Bryan Reynolds and $500,000 in international signing bonus allocation.

Of course the question everyone is asking is, where will Ohtani play? Will, we know he will pitch. That is a given. Ohtani sported a career 2.52 ERA and averaged 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings in…
