And if the Yankees didn't have to forfeit their first round draft pick as compensation to the Angels in 2009 for signing Teixeira, Trout would have been a Yankee, the Yankees were up next on the clock (they had two first rounders originally) everybody and their puppy dogs knew the Yankees wanted Trout, and the same people and their puppy dogs knew that the Yankees were going to be shit out of luck and the Angels were going to sign him first.
Braves were forced to trade Teixeira in July 2008 before the deadline, Atlanta was not going to meet his asking money as a free agent, so they dealt him for a bag of rocks, well Casey Kochman was serviceable, but the kids they got in that deal turned out to be hamburgers.
Teixeira did help the Angels get to the playoff the four months he was there in 2008, signed with NYY, and won a ring in 2009, and took them to the playoffs the next three years after that. I'm sure NYY is not regretting losing Trout, Tex was a gamer.
Snowy?
I don't know why you're so harsh on Trout, I watch him play on a regular basis, the dude crashes in to walls making grabs with reckless abandon, he's got testicular fortitude, Trout doesn't think twice about laying out.Comment -

With those two dong dongs last night Judge is slashing 36/77/.284, and leads the majors in runs scored.
Believe it or not, Alvarez over there in Astro Land leads the league in slugging percentage, he's having himself a career too.
Alvarez is slashing 28/65/.310
I thought it was an oddity that Judge leads the league in total bases, and has more extra base than Alvarez.
Thought that was a tad strange.
Took me a couple minutes, but I figured it out as to why Alvarez has a slightly higher SLG%
It's because Alvarez has played in 14 fewer games than Judge, with 77 fewer plate appearances, which is almost twenty percent.
So if you adjust Alvarez's power numbers 20 percent, making all things equal, Alvarez's homerun total now becomes 32, and so on.
Speaking of prorating,
Judge is now on pace to hit 57 HR's drive in 122, and score 124 runs
What can I tell you guys, I was born a geek.
*todays Aaron Judge fun fact*
Aaron Judge is the tallest man in MLB history to have a 50+ home run season.Comment -
Air Yordan is easily my favorite pure hitter. OBP everything. Guy just hits. Have him signed for 300k in my AL league through 2024. (To put that into perspective, our salary cap is 10m) so he is quite cheap. We have a farm system, so I’ve had him for about 2 or 3 years now. I’d like to talk to you about some fantasy leagues sometime. I think you would find them interesting. My dad and friends have had NL/AL only leagues since the 80s using the paper to do the stats. (We use cbs now) I joined around 2005ish when I was 13.Comment -
i love that kind of analysis
i still see 56 to 58. you know boone will rest him too much and mismanage him when the yanks need to win games to get home field.
that cold streak before the break was not good for him. as hot as he is now he will go cold again. that will also hurt as my yanks try for the best record.Comment -

also would be big for judge to win his 1st MVP. that might keep him in the lineup more than not.
he needs to go into August with at least 40 imoComment -

I can't believe how many professional sports writers get it wrong.
Judge has 37 HR's in 97 games.
While it's true Judge has played in 94 games, the Yanks have played in 97 games, you base the number on how many games Judge and the Yankees have left to play, which is 65.
He's on pace to hit 22 more HR's with 65 games left to play, and if he sits going forward that number decreases.
I've just read a USA Today online sports writer say Judge is on pace for 64 HR's.
I'm like "Yeah, if he played every game so far this year, which he has not, and he plays every game going forward (doubtful) then he's on a 64 HR pace, right now the number is 59 based on, like I said, 65 games left on the schedule"
This isn't advance trig either, this is tenth grade math.Comment -
i hope boone plays him as long as they are fighting for home field and doesn't say "we need him for important games in october". getting home field at yankee stadium for the playoffs is important games. boone always downplays things.
if for some reason home field is locked up early, which i seriously doubt, then i can see resting him cause he can get his "leg soreness" and be out two weeks.Comment -

Which bring that pace to 64, providing he plays the last 62 games.
Today is game 100 for almost all teams.
Now you wonder, does Boone play him when it might be a good thing to sit him in mid-September if he's still tearing it up.
Now with Stanton out, Judge can DH more than play OF, saving wear and tear on the body.
I think he'll probably sit four games or so from hear on out, and if you can get a good number on total Judge HR's on a future, it might be worth a play.Comment -
