Aaron Judge, 2017 Fantasy Outlook

Have you seen Aaron Judge hit? This is the first thing I say to people. Shoot, I should qualify that. This is not the first thing I say to everyone. “Would you like to hear the specials?” “Have you seen Aaron Judge hit?” No. Not quite like that. It’s the first thing I say to people who ask me about Aaron Judge. In fact (Grey’s adding on already? Well, let’s get it!), I like to watch everyone hit (and pitch, but we’ll get back to that). I try to watch video of every single player. It’s not some weird voyeur thing. Okay, it’s that, but not only that! If someone’s minor league stats look like, say, .290, 35 HRs and 25 steals, and you watch them and they have a huge hitch in their swing, they don’t look fast and/or they’re a buck-fifty soaking wet, then you have a guy that could very well be hitting and running better against weaker competition than they will find in the majors. It’s important to watch the players. I bring this up now because I watch Aaron Judge and I see Giancarlo Stanton. I do not invoke my novio’s name willy nor nilly. I don’t say Giancarlo comparisons early nor often. If you saw Aaron Judge’s first major league home run, it was a simple, back-up-the-middle stroke. Only the ball went about 420 feet out in center. Aaron Judge hit only 4 homers last year in 84 ABs in the majors, but three went 419 feet or more and one homer went 457 feet, which was top twenty in the majors last year. Cause long balls get you excited like an older woman, here is Judge mollywhopping. If that doesn’t excite you, you have no soul. I don’t mean you have no soul as in you find it hard to get the rhythm of a song, I mean you are kin to the devil. Anyway, what can we expect of Aaron Judge for 2017 fantasy baseball?
Please, blog, may I have some more?
