MLB Finally Has Superstar..Aaron Judge NYY

[teaserpleaser]

I find it funny that people even talk about steroids any more....most MLB players take some type of steroids, etc....so? Who cares? If they kept blood samples from 1997 and tested them today, with our technologies to detect things in the blood, we would know that 90% of them were on 'roids then and in 20 years it will be the same for now.

What I would like to see is this:

Take the top 25 linebackers and running backs in the nation in the NCAA and put them into baseball uniforms. These true 'elite athletes' all at 21 and 22 years old. Then stand back and look at that team and decide if there is anything wrong with that picture.

All sports that pay big bucks and full of cheaters. I did it when I played and I wasn't anything special. We ALL did. That didn't stop as people moved up from the bottom.

On to Judge. Beast. Absolute beast. Has made some sick catches in RF as well. Has all of the tools to be a total stud....but until he has done it for a full year, I won't say much more than that. Too many guys start hot and then hit the deck (Puig anyone?).

Not anymore dude I've been thinking about it a lot since I started betting baseball again and watching box scores.

There are teams that get down by 3 runs early and you just know they aren't coming back vs average to below avg pitchers. There are multiple teams with 3 auto outs in their lineups that wasn't going on when Brady Anderson was smashing shots. Some of these lineups are pathetic.

I wish they would bring steroids back to be honest. Baseball was fun.

Are a few guys juicing

I'm sure there are

but there are a number of weak as lineups like the cardinals

Omfg, you men are gamblers
But act like 15 year old tweets

Seriously, you have bones for a guy who has been here for five minutes who plays right field and plays in Yankee stadium
Baseball purist do not take Yankee hitting seriously.
We never will. Short porches are bullshit

Stanton does this everyday in any park. It's always been a shame how Trout's greatness is ignored. Even when angels were decent. Arod was in Seattle leading off sportscenter everyday. As was Griffey Jr. in his prime. Not sure why Trout never gets credit in a city like LA.

[ByeShea]

Watch him in the All-Star homerun hitting contest it's a must watch

If I was the Yankees I wouldn't let AJ near the home run hitting contest. Players hurt themselves trying to win that crap.

[jjgold]

Guys I know the game this kids a Hall of Famer if he stays healthy

[daneblazer]

A lot better than Adam Dunn who either struck out or hit a home run. Judge hits for average he's hitting what 340 now? Also has speed for a big guy. He is the real deal. And if he's on steroids good for him. They should be legal anyways.

Adam Dunn was a pretty good player. Dunn from 2002 to like 2010 was a monster. Judge could still strike out around 200 times. They both will have good OBP. I think they're comparable players. Judge will cool off at some point

[Itsamazing777]

Needs to do it year after year to even be considered. Just a great few months

[MaddyMax]

Judge has insane advantage at his home park. His .381 iso points that his power is legit. But his 28.1% strikeout rate, .437 BABIP, and 66% contact rate shows he is more of Adam Dunn/Chris Davis. His average will drop going forward but still will be inflated slightly because of that unreal advantage he has at yankee stadium. If i own him on my fantasy league, I would sell him now for the highest bidder. You can probably get Trout + someone since trout is injured....this trade would be huge in a keeper league.

[slayer14]

Will struggle to match that gremlin Grandersons stats with the consistency

[The Giant]

He's easily the best thing going for baseball nowadays.

It's hard to believe he's the same age as Mike Trout. That tells you how long Trout has been producing.

[jjgold]

Giant I'm glad we agree on something you know the game

[paco]

Yanks bats silent today

His BABIP is so high because he smokes the shit out of the ball.....All BABIP is not created equal

Look up Miguel Sano

[bozeman]

this kid has the potencial - he is one of the few seriously christian dudes - so bad habits are ruled out and hard work should be consistent. Dude is not getting married for a while and doesnt bang girlfriends in every MLB town - so focused on the game and church is on sundays only.

Judge will be a hall of famer!

[reigle9]

He has cards going for thousands on ebay. People are nuts. Nothing like buying at peak.

Tallest Position Player in MLB history at 6' 7"

what about 6 foot 8 richie sexson

[LT Profits]

what about 6 foot 8 richie sexson

Maybe Judge is actually taller than 6'7"" then? I keep hearing he is tallest non-pitcher (or at worst tied).

[MoneyLineDawg]

Lost yesterday & today. Judge makes a bone headed move tagged out by a mile at home

It's 5-4 right now? Why are you posting as if they lost already

The 3rd base coach sent him lol how is that Judges fault

[themike78]

Yankees will win this game 13-5. Best team in baseball. World series champs the next 5 years in a row.

[Shute]

Should have held him up at 3rd.

[nyplayer33]

Game over loss..Astros best team baseball

[paco]

Make that 3 consecutive losses now

[JMUplayer]

TROUT would be taken before Judge by every team... hands down

[paco]

Make that 4 consecutive losses now

[paco]

Pathetic. Yanks need chapman back fast

[soccergoat]

what i love about aaron judge is he is making 544k this year, while the yanks are paying 33 year old jacoby ellsbury 21 million, and they still have ellsbury for 4 more years after this and he will be in sharp decline, it is nice to see the yankees doing things right again bringing up their own guys and stop over paying for free agents, so many bad signings and not only long contracts old players as well, when yanks get that starting rotation down they are going to be back in the world series soon

[nyplayer33]

Stanton...nelson..clemens..cone..wells.. tino martinez...Paul oneill..wade boggs...all were Yankees that were not developed in there farm system. Today they got lucky judge is doing very good..he was drafted on 32nd round in 2010 b4 he went back to college. They will continue signing free agents...relax with world series talk...OK babe ruth?

[jjgold]

We don't know if the pressure is going to start building on his kid and he is not going to hit anymore

[daneblazer]

Maybe Judge is actually taller than 6'7"" then? I keep hearing he is tallest non-pitcher (or at worst tied).

Tony Clark was 6'8. There were some other schlubs taller than Judge too. I think he's the tallest active player who isn't a pitcher

actually he's the tallest outfielder in MLB history. Randy Johnson played an inning in the OF one time but we won't count that

[klemopixx]

Fukk him! He'll be over 350 lbs next year and running slower than Ryan Howard! One bad knee or ankle and he's done!

[paco]

5th consecutive loss
