I think you understate Devers defense at the moment.

He is legit, and after a pretty slow start has been absolutely raking. He already might be a top 30 position player in baseball.

[@snerdterguson]

Got Aaron Judge right. People look at some stats and ignore all the context. For example, his strikeouts. Look at his at bats for a week and you will see he gets about 2 ridiculously low strikes called against him ever 3 at bats. Now there's no way to know what he would do with that extra strike, some of them came with a 3 ball count and should have been walks. I honestly believe his strikeouts would be lowered by around 25-30% if we had a computer calling balls and strikes. Then there's him being "injury prone" which may be the biggest myth in modern baseball. His only "recurring" injury is the oblique. Other than that, he's had a broken wrist from a HBP, A rib injury after landing weird on a diving play and the shoulder injury he suffered crashing into the wall. He gets hurt by flukes and because he plays all out. Then there's the people who say he's a strike out or a homer, which if true, based on his batting average, he would have roughly 190 or so home runs every year. He bats around .280, has monster power, can run the bases well, has above average speed, one of the best defensive right fielders, fearless going after the play with not just a cannon for an arm, but one that is as accurate as any I've ever seen. Aaron Judge, is really, Really, REALLY great at playing baseball. Easy top ten, maybe top 5 and in any given season he may be the best.

[@edgyanole9705]

Looking at this Julio Rodriguez could be the next Aaron Judge except hopefully with not many injuries
