I'm a lifelong Yankees fan and while I usually follow the yankees I've been watching and listening to most games when I can...thank you MLB.com. Mainly because the yanks have an exciting young team...and obviously judge is a big factor.
He's jeter on steroids. If he can stack together a nice career without any huge injuries...he will amass impressive #'s. I could see 40 hr 100 rbi being .300 ba being the norm for Aaron for a good long time!! And I'm guessing when he signs his next big contract with the yankees he will be the next Captain!

I just don't know. Maybe he somehow closed up a hole in his swing, or finally learned to keep his hands back? Maybe it was one of those situations where he was just a subtle adjustment away and someone finally worked on it with him? It is odd. Anyhow, especially given that he had a number of not so productive years, we just need to wait and see.

How many "next Mickey Mantles" have their been in the last 25-30 years? I first remember hearing that with Greg Jefferies. I'm sure there were other players before Jefferies. I don't know how many there have been since Jefferies but it seems like every few years a player comes along that is the "next Mantle".

I don't think the comparison to Greg Jefferies or Kevin Maas is apt but I wouldn't mind being compared to Bobby Murcer. At age 25 he had his best season too.

Gentlemen, the OP was only comparing their cards. He was not comparing them as players.
Comparing Judge to Mantle wouldn't make any sense. Judge is bigger than LeBron James and Mantle wasn't even 6 feet tall!

Half a season has never got anyone into the HOF. But from what I've seen so far of Judge I think he will have a great career and could end up being the face of baseball for the next 10 years. Time will tell. For now I'm just enjoying the show.

Just noticed Judge only has 13 2b so far. That seems really low for a power hitter, what's up with that?

I doubt Judge is the new Mantle. He does appear to be a version of Chili Davis in 1991, great first half and couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat the second half.

Interesting. You would think with his power Mantle would have driven a ton of balls up the gaps. I would love to hear a theory. Injuries maybe, he was just afraid to leg out hits?
