    I had to look at who is on their team and Kris Bryant is.  Man what a fall from grace that dude did.

    This guy was ROY then MVP the next.  Kind of like Bellinger.  Only difference is Bellinger is still a GG fielder just can't hit worth a shit now.

    yeah, although their outfielder/catcher, Hunter Goodman, is having a decent year. .288 BA, 6 Hr, 24 RBI. He'll be their representative.

    Every comment in this thread should be about Aaron Judge

    There might be 5 managing jobs at the end of the season. Angels, White Sox, Rockies, Orioles, and Pirates. Yankees maybe if they don't go far in the playoffs. But Boone probably has something on Hal

    I feel bad for these top pitching prospects that get drafted by Colorado. Jeff Francis, Jeff Hoffman, Jon Gray, Chase Dollander. What would their careers be like if they were drafted by any other team?

    I liked when the Phillies played in George Steinbrenner Field. Aaron Judge plays there in March, right.

    Remember when Barry Bonds as the MLB poster boy for steroids? Now it's Aaron Judge.

    I like this game.

    WRONG. Imagine trading your franchise player, then probably trading your next franchise player?  Yankees would never trade Judge

    Good work!

    Bizarre that 2 MLB teams are playing in minor league stadiums.

    2009 is a long time ago, and Aaron Judge won't end that curse.

    Such fun.

    It's obviously been pretty good for Boston fans but trading Mookie Betts is the craziest thing I've seen in baseball in my years. Maybe it's not quite trading Babe Ruth but it's up there.

    When you have a chance to land a guy like Alex Verdugo, you do whatever is necessary to get him on your team.

    I've heard some pretty bad and bold takes before and this ranks high up there on the list.

    If Judge was to be hit w a Steroid tag I'd be pissed.  It will never happen but it would be egregious for me.  I can forgive Tatis but Judge is a different breed.

    You have proof he's not?
    Do you believe Griffey Jr. was clean too.

    Griffey was never a lifter.  Never was big in the muscle department.  He used to brag that Arod could lift more than him and Arod was smaller. Way too many other ballplayers and investigators to back that up.  Also his numbers were never inflated or got better when he got older.  There was a decline.

    I'll retort with this.  Prove to me that Judge IS on steroids.  He's hit bombs since he was in High School so unless he was juicing back then I would bet that he isn't now.

    Also if Griffey was on roids maybe he wouldnt have been injured so much.

    Counter point: Griffey's injuries are consistent with what happens with steroids:

    Starting with the 2001 season (when Griffey, Jr. was only 31 years old), the next six seasons saw Griffey, Jr. miss considerable time with nagging injuries. The types of injuries that could be caused by long-term steroid abuse. 

    Did Ken Griffey, Jr. Take Steroids?

    And look at his power numbers over his career, a near perfect bell curve which can pinpoint when he began juicing and when the effects started to break down his joints etc.

    Jacoby Ellsbury was never on steroids. I’ll die on this hill.

    You obviously can't prove someone isn't or never was using steroids.

    If you got bigger maybe.  I don't see it.  Bonds never hurt, McGwire, Canseco, Sosa, Arod Palmiero.  Those guys all known juicers and none of them deteriorated like Griffey did so I will still say no. None of them had a history of injury like he did either.
