Agreed. Neither seems likely to last.

It seems Judge is lasting though. He's had phenomenal seasons five years apart, and 2020 aside, has made 4 of 5 all star teams. Is your thinking that he's just too big and muscle bound and is inevitably going to sustain major injuries?

Most big guys fall apart earlier than their counterparts. Phenomenal seasons several years apart is not a mark of excellent health, but great players having problems.

He missed 50 games in 2018 due to an injury that took longer than expected to heal.

He missed two months in 2019 to an oblique strain.

In 2020, he missed some of spring training to another injury, and then hurt his calf two seperate times to hit the DL for another 2 stints and miss half of the season.

He’s made 4 of 5 all star teams. And has missed significant playing time to injuries in 3 out of these last 5.

I don’t see why we would expect a big guy like this to age well. That is not an insult to Judge, the Yankees, or his fans, before someone gets offended

Good reasoning, hope you are wrong, I like the guy.

I hope so too, I root for almost everyone and he's clearly a great talent.
