Just a heads up, the Aaron Judge Watch is now up in the sidebar, underneath the RAB Tickets and YES Network links. He was the overwhelming choice in our poll. Also, Baseball America post lists of the youngest players at each level, with LHP Jacob Lindgren, LHP Miguel Sulbaran, RHP Luis Severino, and 3B Miguel Andujar ranking among the youngest players in their leagues. Bryce Harper is the youngest player on an NL Opening Day roster for the third straight year. El-oh-el.
