The drumbeats have started, and will only become louder if Aaron Judge continues on his current trajectory.
“Here Comes Da Judge! Here Comes Da Judge!”
“Aaron Judge for MVP!”
Whoa there, Nellie. It’s a little early for MVP talk as the season winds itself through its second third. A lot of bad can happen to a rookie between now and October. A lot of good can happen to more experienced players like the Angels’ Mike Trout.
But the way Judge has played, he at least deserves inclusion in the conversation. At worst, he’ll finish up well-positioned for the next crack at it.
