Either that or Judge, but I don't discount –

Well, Judge is one of those guys.

Yeah, he is, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down, man.

That's the wild thing about Aaron Judge.

I don't think people realize he started pretty late.

He was in the minor leagues for a couple of years.

He was a first-round pick in 2013 and didn't really get full-time at bats in the big leagues until 2017, so this is his 10th year now, and

Even at 34, he looks like the best hitter in baseball, just as he has for the last couple of years.

The fact that the Yankees have him and Ben Rice, it makes them even more scary than they are already with that pitching staff.

I think he's, I understand he's 36.

There, there is just that natural regression that you're going to have.

And I,

his skills never pointed toward aging well, right?

Uh, the, you know, the, the strikeouts, they were, they were average somewhere in that vicinity, but it's the walks that always got me, man.

And it's the flaw in Salvador Perez's entire career.

It's just that getting on base has been a challenge for him.

And,

If the slug's going to go away and if the batting average is going to be where it is, you have to be contributing in some way.

I think, like, Isaac Collins is a really good example of that.

Have you enjoyed the Isaac Collins experience so far?
