He is a great player but as much value as he brings in shortened seasons, he can’t get paid like a top player.
OT: Aaron Judge
- Thread starter knight82
- Start date
As you say, he can't finish a season. No one is giving him 8 years, $250 million. I mean, if you can't stay healthy in your 20's, forget about it in your 30's. But he's worth something. I would think he's worth more to the Yankees due to his popularity than he is to anyone else and staying in NY probably means more endorsement money for him. I have no idea how it plays out. But it will be interesting to see where he ultimately ends up and for how much.
Is this thread open for any "overrated" player discussion?
If so, is this the year that the Angels finally get some sort of return on their $426.5m investment and actually make the playoffs?
Or is it another 4th place finish but they win another "MVP" award?
This should take the heat off Judge.
I mean, at least he doesn't have only 1 career postseason hit.
That would be really bad.

You gotta be kidding me. The Angels not getting to the playoffs has nothing to do with Trout it’s the team they put around him.
Would you have survived 3-5 years at 1500 or so a month in the minors?
You and others just make statements like this as if it was just given to professional athletes.
and let’s assume you love whatever you do. Are you in the top 1% of people in the world that are doing it?
I would take my CEO’s job in a second too.
That is why I put Yes on my ignore list. Most time talked about baseball without bias but 20% of the time he is just a Mets fan trolling the Yankees thread. Mets fans are the worst
His 1500 a month in minors was after a 1.8 million dollar signing bonus. So tough.
Maybe go back through the thread and even the Yankee thread. I have said over and over- guy is Uber talented and I would enjoy and love to see him play 140+ games. He is actually one of my favorite players.
But he is always injured. Playing 65% of games is not a good thing for the Yankees though.
how is that trolling? I have said nothing bad about the player and his skills.
An unequivocal yes. Maybe I wouldn’t have taken a nano-second. Possibly take a whole second.
I agree with Yes' overall point, but low pay doesn't sound so bad when you're living, traveling, playing and partying with a bunch of brothers in arms in your 20s.
Money isn't the only thing.
Don't waste your time. Funny it wasn't mentioned on this board he was just American
league player of the week with a 450 batting
avg. 3 homers, a very high on base percentage
offering my opinion isn’t being a tool. I’d never call someone I don’t know a tool..but Making up false facts that he won AL player of the week “recently” isn’t a great look
What really isn't a great look is being in "sports media" and only being able to give an opinion on "what you see first hand" while covering baseball which is perhaps the sport most rooted in it's historical figures, stats and data. This deserves one of the biggest LOL's.
What also isn't a great look look is taking shots at a player based on 2 games and 7 AB's over the course of a full 162 game season with over 500 AB's and perhaps 600 plate appearances. You seem to have some type of hard on for Judge. Really uncalled for comments regarding him being the most overrated player in MLB etc. Do you really know anything about baseball at all - or are you just having a nice imaginary play? Did you play at all? I can guarantee that I would work circles around you in my understanding of the sport. Perhaps stick to what you know best...."Hype"
Angels have a money tree in the back so the money they pay Trout doesn't matter. The Angels not getting to the playoffs is about Trout if he isn't helping get wins to the extent that his salary dictates he should.
Cole pitched yesterday and he might not have pitched for the Angels because of Trout.
