Still Judge for me.
His OPS is nearly 200 points higher than Raleigh's.
His OBP is nearly 100 points higher than Raleigh's, and 58 points higher than the next-highest player in MLB.
He put up Bonds-like numbers, but without the steroid suspicion.
I suspect Raleigh will get 1st-place votes because he's a catcher and a great story, but Judge was simply dominant offensively. He was so far above his peers that Raleigh couldn't catch him in either bWAR or fWAR even with the position adjustment for catchers and Judge's below-average defense.
