Yall remember when I said Cody Bellinger would be better than Aaron Judge?

[Chewbaccer]

It was in 2017 when I said this. Yall laughed, yet here we are. Sorry, but when one dude is 21 and the other is 25 and they're both rookies, that alone speaks volumes.

Bellinger>>>Judge

But Bellinger is 21, Judge is 25. I think Bellinger will be better down the road.

And you have been right so far.

 

[tducey]

To me they're both good players and are already among the best players in baseball.

They're both better than Bryce Harper . 330 million ... Sweet

I'd take Harper over Judge all day long.

Judge has been a much better hitter since the beginning of 2017 (he has a 160 OPS+ to Harper's 141). I don't think Judge is going to have a season like 2015 Bryce Harper, but right now it's looking like Harper won't either. I think Judge is a waaaaaaaaay better defender than him.

 

[navamind]

Bellinger's made some huge strides this year. He's making a lot more contact (especially outside the zone) and he's showing better plate discipline.

He hates the Yankees so he can't be honest.

Bryce Harper is pretty overrated if you ask me

I assure you that I hate the Phillies far more than the Yankees.

Harper broke in as a teenager, Judge was 25. Harper is already beyond his rookie contract, yet he’s younger than Judge.

Plus Judge is a brittle bitch

I'm not debating who is older.....

No shit. I was saying why I’d rather have Harper

But we are talking right now.

And right now Judge is better and cheaper. And they are basically the same age.

If you’re a 25 year old rookie, I assume you’re either really stupid or really brittle.

I don’t want brittle bitches or retards on my team

You do know that Harper has three seasons where he missed 30+ games (one of which he played in only 100 games), right?

A lot of that is from running into walls. I can handle injuries like that.

That kind of constant recklessness could also lead to future injuries.

He learned. Got that out of his system in his early 20’s. Judge didn’t have an early 20’s.

Plus bigger guys like Judge tend to break down. I’d pick Harper as a long term answer over him.

I would have taken Bellinger over both two years ago, and that opinion hasn’t changed.

 

[navamind]

besides, Judge's 2018 injury came from getting hit in the wrist by a pitch.

What’s his excuse for his injuries before being called up and his injury this year?
