I’m not sure why everyone is freaking out about Judge at 1. Marc is clearly ranking this without factoring in Ohtani’s pitching (I don’t know why, seems like he will pitch). He admitted that if Shohei does pitch then he’s easily 1. So once you take out pitching, Judge was clearly better than Shohei last year. Wasn’t even particularly close. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know ball

When I saw Ohtani ranked #2 knew immediately this is not a real ranking. I like Judge and he's a great hitter but has no speed, only 10 stolen bases and an average outfielder (never won a gold glove) while Ohtani is almost equal to Judge in offense (you look at their stats Shohei is the only one that came close to Judge in offense including homeruns had 54 HRs) and Ohtani also had 59 SBs, and he will be pitching next season. If Shohei wins 10 to 15 games and hits over 40 to 50 HRs and has over 30 SBs then their is no player ever in the history of baseball better then Shohei Ohtani (I say that because I played baseball through college and it's not even a debate who the best player is).

Because he’s a top 2 hitter in the MLB. Why would he risk further injuries by pitching when his hitting is the best part of his game? We’ve seen that he runs into injuries when he pitches and hits, I’d rather see him just be a generational hitter for the rest of his career

I respect Judge as one of the greatest to ever do it, but Ohtani’s the better player between the two, imo. Ohtani will be pitching next season, with current estimates having him starting sometime in April.

Judge has been better than Ohtani in basically every year but one

@@Zach_82I think you got that flipped. Any season where Ohtani pitches and hits reasonably well, he’s better than Judge.

[@JayMezzo05]

Decent take. Rafael Devers is this generation Jim Thome🤷🏾‍♂️

[@justinjordan7711]

I can't believe that a pitcher who is undergoing rehabilitation is in second place. If the two-way player is back, Shohei Ohtani Will return to number one

[@Galantski]

Chris Sale in at 31??? That's criminally dissing him, Marc, and you know it. In fact, all I need to do is go to where you're going through his litany of achievements to see that you refute your own ranking! As for Corbin Burnes, I wish you and others would give his "K rate went down" mantra. It's irrelevant when you think about it more carefully. If it was a real concern, he wouldn't be the top free agent pitcher, and was so even before Blake Snell and Max Fried signed. His pitch mix is so elite that he can induce weak contact with consistency. Oh, and who's to say that his strikeout rate doesn't bounce back, since he's only 30 and has had a relatively injury-free career, it just as easy to say the down seasons constitute a statistical anomaly and nothing more. Of course, if the Orioles don't sign him, it will all be moot to me, provided he doesn't sign with an AL East team.

[@PabloContreras-de5ld]

Elly at 15 and Bergman at 50 is crazy

[@evasegod]

I honestly see the upside arguement but 15 might be too high. I'd have lumped him with an upside guy like Jrod. Maybe even move Freddie and Harper up and slide Elly down.

[@sir.muffiniii7011]

Elly is so much better than Bregman

[@whatsthehype444]

Chris sale at 31 is wild. I'ma Nats fan so hes a pain in our side too but dude is easily a top 15 player.

[@Iceisnice32]

The anti-Dodgers bias is CRAZY. Shohei at 2!?!? He is the best player. I'll admit Judge is otherworldly like Ohtani. But Judge doesn't pitch. And he didn't have that season while recovering from elbow surgery. No Teoscar??? No Glasnow??? No YOSHI?????? C'mon man.

[@Mr91Jmay]

Teo isn’t top 50 and Yoshi + Glas have to prove they can stay healthy. He was more than fair to Dodgers

[@Iceisnice32]

@Mr91Jmay but he put Degrom on there. And he hasn't been healthy.

[@Mr91Jmay]

@@Iceisnice32 ye I didn’t agree with DeGrom but when healthy he blows them out of the water. He’s one of the best pitchers ever. Pretending there is anti dodger bias when there are literally 5 Dodgers (most of any team) on list is stupidity though
