The Yankees have really set themselves up nicely with a potentially dominant 3-4-5 in their lineup for years to come. And with his lefty swing in that ballpark, Bird may end up the best of the bunch.
Not as long as Girardi keeps batting Judge second it won't. I agree Bird is going to be a key figure but don't know about the best of the bunch.
You do realize Judge hit 52 homers in his first season, right? I like Bird a lot but the best of the bunch is a little silly.I see Bird as 300-30-100.
I think the other two are 260-30-100.
Of course they also both may be 40+ HRs a year.....

I get it. He is a force. He also struck out a lot.
We will see. Bird has a great swing and the short porch is made for him. Think going to hit for a high average plus hit HRs.
But Judge is just a 30 homer a year guy.Don't care at all about striking out when a guy leads the league in HRs, walks, runs and OBP add 2nd in RBI I think you have the ROY and the MVP.and he can play The OF with a rifle.
Bird does have that swing which makes you believe he can be special too I agree. Like what they have for a vote.

Judge is the real deal. See him as a Giancarlo Stanton type. 260ish but huge power.
Bird reminds me of Hosmer but more power in that stadium. 30 HRs.
Something about Judge makes me think he can be that .280 -.290 guy he was this year. I mean .280 whatever this year and he couldn't hit for 7 weeks, pretty good. I guess we will see the thing is we probably won't see either that torrid start or that awful stretch again, or maybe we will. Jury's out for Judge LOL
Bird and Cody Bellinger have epic swing planes. Absolute ball launchers.Don't care at all about striking out when a guy leads the league in HRs, walks, runs and OBP add 2nd in RBI I think you have the ROY and the MVP.and he can play The OF with a rifle.

Judge is going to be the MVP, maybe hits the ball harder than anyone we've seen, and just hit 52 homers in a season. I guess my question is why do you think he is a 30 homer per year guy?Judge is the real deal. See him as a Giancarlo Stanton type. 260ish but huge power.

Hosmer has been in the league a long time and he can't hold Judge's jock. I think Bird will be good and has a nice swing for the stadium but he has nowhere near the power of Judge and calling him a future MVP seems like a stretch.
Judge is MVP, destroys him in power #'s and has a better on base percentage than the little guy.You have to read slower and focus harder. I said Judge is Stanton. I think that is right.
I compared Bird to Hosmer but more power for Bird.
Judge is great. Altuve is MVP.
Yeah maybe 270-280. Can see that. His walks will help.
I dont think he has hit 300 in his pro life including the minors. That first half he had was Ruthian.
