Aaron Judge - Page 9

ThoseBackPages · 05-03-2017, 03:46 PM

Still reminds me of Adam Dunn

OutlawStar · 05-03-2017, 04:44 PM

Babe Ruth yo.

OK seriously, kudos to everyone who made money on this. Now just time to find the next one...

TonySpaghetti · 05-03-2017, 04:58 PM

Now might be a good time to mention that Judge is the 4th best defensive RFer in baseball so far (and well above Mookie Betts).

You can even make a case that he is the 2nd best defensive RFer...(if you calculate Def rating per inning).

Major League Leaderboards » 2017 » Right Fielders » Fielding Statistics | FanGraphs Baseball

He's on pace for a +12.0 Def rating which means that just his glove and arm would be worth roughly 1.2 wins over the course of a season and would put him in the "Great Fielder" category.

Ottomatic · 05-03-2017, 05:04 PM

There is no "on pace" when it comes to this tiny sample of defensive stats. They are not perfect over a full season, 20 something games is almost useless.

He should he competent though.

TonySpaghetti · 05-03-2017, 05:08 PM

You may be right, but it is another indicator that he might be growing into a "real" baseball player.

IronMonkey415 · 05-03-2017, 05:20 PM

He reminds me of Jaws.

Judgement bomb #13.

Everyone (commentators) seemingly loves the guy. Without fail every announcer makes it a point to talk about much of a good guy he is. Love seeing that in a young star.

lauriontj · 05-03-2017, 07:19 PM

Those Aaron judge autos on Topps now will be sold out shortly if they're not already!

Halbert · 05-03-2017, 07:20 PM

This kid is special. If you watch him everyday, it is obvious

Ottomatic · 05-03-2017, 07:21 PM

He definitely made 2017 product a lot more interesting to me. Already a solid class, but man it's cool to be chasing a potential mega star that will make the price of your box back easily.

Wow......now this is getting a little crazy......

I love this kid and think he's great for the game, but to compare a sample size this small is nuts.

I hope he keeps bringing it, but let's temper things a bit ok?

cnewby · 05-03-2017, 07:26 PM

So is Judge on the same level as Trout/Harper?

ThoseBackPages · 05-03-2017, 07:32 PM

WOOT WOOT!!

How high will draft box prices go?

To high glad I did a couple cases when it came out. Didn't hit any of his autos but have a lot of base and some parallels. Personally I'd be after 2017 Heritage or getting in on this years topps chrome. Sold his heritage auto for a nice profit yesterday.

Found this in the $0.25 box at the LCS in February. Put it in the ttm pile. Now taking it out. /2017. I'd say it was a good investment

Hey royals, I'll double your investment

Seriously though, what he's done has been amazing. If he can adjust low and away, then he really doesn't have a weakness. That's the one blind spot I've seen with him (not uncommon)

Impressive..
