    hopefully Alvarez can bat higher than .050 in his first ALDS

    1/4. I'd said that has already been answered.

    I assume you mean today? If so, judge and it’s not close. He plays a position reasonably well and he’s got enough time in to show that he’s adjusted to the adjustments.

    Long term for career? Probably Álvarez bc he’s so much younger. Next 5 years? Judge, because that’s his absolute prime.

    I’d say Alvarez because he’s what the Astros have and he fills a position that we’ve been hoping for since being forced into this league. Just my homer opinion

    They both scare me. I’d say Altuve.

    Don't be stupid. Judge was a monster rookie 2 years ago. Alvarez is eclipsing his #'s, but Judge has come into his own.

    Not even sure why you would mock this comparison...

    I'd take Albert Pujols, personally.

    Wasn't a choice, and Alvarez so far beat Pujols.

    Judge
    Trout
    Pujols
    Alvarez

    If you're talking about greatest rookies in the past 20 years...

    Being able to use a glove counts for something, thus Yordan is below everyone (also didn't play a full season)

    OPS rookie year is better than all of them, and Yordan looks like he could do a decent fielding job.
