00:00Let's get to the real awards market. Is it already over in the American League?

00:03Is it? Aaron Judge, minus 600. Joe, April, May, June, July, August, September, into parts of

00:11October. That's how long the Major League Baseball season is. We have a minus 600 MVP after one month

00:17of the season. Talk to me about that price point. And also, is it value? Because we took the Cam

00:23Ward, hey, minus 1,000, that's ridiculous. He ended up minus 20,000. So there was value on

00:27minus 1,000. Minus 600. Where does Judge, he can't go higher than this, this early in the

00:33season, can he? Well, you know, the problem was Cam Ward wasn't playing any football where

00:39we had to worry about something happening to him. That's true. The problem with Judge is

00:44that, you know, stubs his toe or, you know, falls down. That's a big man. Things can go

00:49wrong. But I can tell you this, if he stays healthy and just looking over for, we were

00:56just laughing about it. The start of last year in April, he was hitting 200, and we were

01:01all going, what's wrong with Aaron Judge? And then from May 1st last year to this year, he's

01:07hitting 362. He's got a slugging percentage of 760. He's got, what, 62 home runs since May

01:151st of a year ago. He's got a 13 war right now. I mean, it's, over the last year, nobody

01:23has been better than Aaron Judge hitting the ball and playing baseball. And if it, I don't

01:27see how that stops unless an injury happens along the way. So he's as good a shoe-in as

01:33anything right now for that award.
