Are you trying to bait me?
I don’t ever wish the competition to be eliminated through injury, but I won’t shed a tear either. I used to like Judge until he started whining when the dimensions were changed at CY and he thought he may have lost a HR or two.
He’s a tremendous talent, but he’s also a huge guy. He moves incredibly well for his size, but I have to think you may be right. Once guys start having injuries (think cumulatively with someone like Hays) the body starts wearing down quicker.
Just in my short college career I dealt with arm trouble and was always experiencing problems with my back. And that’s not 162 games.
To be fair, from what I’ve seen, Judge is serious about his health and physical prep. That may not save him.
