Who missed more games him or Judge? Asking, simply asking I do not know

Pedroia played 9 games combined in 2018-19

 

[navamind]

Drew played 137+ games in 2007, 2009 and 2010, 109 in 2008, and only 81 in 2011 before retiring. Judge played 155 in 2017, 112 in 2018, 102 in 2019, and 28 in the shortened 2020 season.

As many as Carl Pavano in 2006-2008.

That’s 9 more than Jacoby Ellsbury played over that same timeframe(not that I am defending Pedroia or that awful contract).

 

[Sportsguy9695]

I’d rather have judge miss games early on then later and possibly in the po season

I’ll see your Brittle Bitch and raise you a Brittle Bitch.....

Kluber barely hitting 90MPH with his fastball.

Without Judge in there, that lineup suddenly looks very thin. LeMahieu and Stanton 1 & 2, and then 7 guys who can be pitched to.

Feels like they always play through April this way before they end the season near the top in runs scored

not too worried cause I do love their pitching top to bottom, with Kluber being this seasons Paxson, 1 good, 2 bad

Oh, I wouldn’t be worried at all. The Yankees are still the prohibitive favorite to win the division and the AL. And I feel like they are always pretty sluggish in April, before catching fire in August and September.

You just need to worry about keeping Judge and Stanton healthy for October. That’s the challenge.

They chose him over Tanaka. None of us understood it at the time. At least you passed on Paxton, though.

Tanaka was great in the playoffs but let's not forget his ERA was approaching 5 in 2 of his final 4 seasons here.

4.74 in 2017 and 4.45 in 2019

I would take 4.3 ish from Kluber.

Not going to jump to conclusions after 1 bad start. His first start vs Toronto was solid
