Judge is likely not as good as Greg Bird.

Judge set the world on fire and is living off of that
His numbers look so good because he does have a ton of walks

But yeah hes not the best player in baseball or one of the top 5 or so like he seemingly was for a few months

I don't think anyone expected him to keep up that kind of pace anyways. He's still a good hitter regardless. 

 

[Mexi]

Yeah im not saying he sucks

Hes good

Judge is likely not as good as Greg Bird.

 
And what exactly are you basing this off of? 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Its not even close. Judge got hot for three months. Rode a high and very unstainable BABIP and strikes out as much as Adam Dunn

 
You say 3 months like it's nothing. That's half a season. This isn't uncommon. I saw it happen with Michael Conforto last year - 2 hot months, then he couldn't touch the ball. Pitchers adjusted and he struggled to counter that. This year he bounced back and had a great year. This stuff happens, we'll have to see how Judge rebounds next year. 
 
Yea he strikes out a ton, but he also draws a ton of walks. The guy is in his first full season - he's clearly a great hitter with a ton of potential. He's going to improve in the next few years.

I said likely.  I am far more impressed with Bird's strike-zone judgement.
Both guys are players I'd like to have for my team, by the way.  I just think Bird will be a better player in the long-run.

Anibal Sanchez is currently the Tigers' number 1 starter.
 
 
Rebuilding is swell.

The diamondbacks are hot as shit and the dodgers are not

 

[Mexi]

JD just hit his 4th homer

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Find a way to belittle it please

 

[elcheato]

Indians close to the Dodgers on run differential

 

[Phil The Thrill]

We suck

 

[Mexi]

Find a way to belittle it please

why would i

I said momths ago the dbacks are good

I said fuck al avila for trading him for peanuts

I said the other day the backs will beat the dodgers in the nlds

 

[Mexi]

CC it is amazing tho that the dbacks have won 11 straight, dodgers have lost 9 of 10, dbacks are 9-8 this season vs the dodgers, and the dodgers have lost 9 games from their lead in like a week, yet the dodgers still have a 12 game lead

 

[CameronCrazy06]

That's what happens when you're the best team of all time
