If you were an MLB general manager, do you want Aaron Judge on your playoff roster?

Aaron Judge has a .199 batting average with 85 strikeouts in 55 career postseason games.

is probably the main reason your team is in the playoffs in the first place. Put him on the Red Sox, the Cubs, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Arizona, Texas or even Cincinnati or Toronto and they are playoff teams.

So yeah.

Postseason pitchers like Yamamoto make guys like Judge look like average hitters. So yes, I would love to see Judge come back home and play for the Dodgers!

As a Dodgers fan, I suffered through multiple years of Mookie Betts dismal postseason performances before he finally broke out of his slump this year. I never once considered the idea of taking him out of the lineup. Judge will figure it out (hopefully not this year), and everyone will forget that he was bad for a stretch.

And Soto, hitting before him, had a monster series. Average isn’t everything.

Judge is obviously pressing. I’m sure Yankee coaches are onto this.
