Rushed? They aren't rushed if they're ready. Was Trout rushed? Did that hurt his longterm viability? Was Bryce Harper rushed when he had a 4.6 WAR in his second professional season?
20th best offensive C for that time period. Whoopdeeeffffffffffingdoo.
Side note: interesting that 15th ranked Xander is "below average", but 8-10th ranked Tek is "tops."

Signing Shohei Ohtani really frees the Angels up to make two or three more impossibly bad free agent signings over the next couple of years.
I disagree with your disagreement. His WAR totals are generally due to his long career. He hit well in a time period where almost everyone hit well. OVERRATED.
I'm not sure they seriously considered Marrero. I think they hoped they could catch lightning in a bottle with Sandoval coming back in shape and moving him at the deadline. At that point, they could have traded for a 3b or brought up Devers.
