Discuss. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-aaron-judge-the-next-babe-ruth-or-the-next-jeremy-lin/ Even if Judge gets swallowed whole by the regression monster, though, his phenomenal first half tells us a lot. Just as former Knicks guard Jeremy Lin’s dominant early games suggested he would become at least a pretty good player — which has been (kinda) true — it’s almost impossible to have even a half-season like Judge’s without at least panning out as a good ballplayer, if not something much more.
You can say this about any player who breaks onto the scene and does well to begin his career.... don't really understand the Jeremy Lin connection... is Cody Bellinger Jeremy Lin too?
He's legit... and since he's doing it in the biggest market, he's going to get as much exposure as possible. Doesn't make it right... doesn't make it "good for baseball".... it just is what it is thanks to how and why the media focuses on what they focus on.
derp derp derp race-baiting, fat dork troll living in mom's basement. Here's your asian, Neil Paine: Aaron Judge must be getting all this attention because he's light-skinned, right?
Neil Paine in 2012 apparently. Neil Paine: Lin's game still has flaws, but stats show his rise to stardom is no fluke Linsanity is a phenomenon. But is it justified? While Jeremy Lin's game has flaws, a statistical analysis shows his rise to stardom is no fluke. Neil Paine breaks down the numbers.
lmaooooooooooooooooooooo boy that must have taken a lot of you. Good thing mommy's there in case you're hungry! (btw, what's a 'dook ling'? that should be your next account after you get this one banned)
Lest we forget Puig's first 3 months of his career and how the national media was pining on this guy being the next best thing. Now he's not even an afterthought even with having a solid year this year.
Puig's first 3 months were very good, but nothing unheard of. Judge's season so far is arguably the best rookie season of all time. He's the clear frontrunner for MVP as a rookie. Puig was never in that kind of company. This is more similar to Trout's amazing rookie season.
