In a bit of exciting news on Father’s Day the New York
Yankees announced that their top positional player and prospect Aaron Judge
would be getting a promotion from the Double-A Trenton Thunder to the Triple-A
Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Judge is taking that next stop, and possibly
the biggest step, to the major leagues with the promotion and many Yankees fans
couldn’t be happier about the move. Carlos Beltran is stinking up the joint out
in right field and isn’t exactly making the fans forget about his defensive
shortcomings with his offense so Judge may be a sight for sore eyes sometimes
later in the season while Beltran may learn to ride the bench.
Judge’s numbers don’t reflect how much of a great talent he
is and how much of a great talent he could be in the major leagues. Judge has
more than adequate defense in right field while he adds a great batter’s eye
and monstrous raw power that rivals the likes of Giancarlo Stanton.
Whether Judge can ever shake the Giancarlo comparisons and
become his own player and his own person remains to be seen but this call up
will surely give the scouts, the Yankees and the fans the look they need to
make the determination on their own.
