00:00I would I've switched it up here right because early in the season I mean this is a fluid
00:05conversation and these numbers go back and forth as we know but early in the season it
00:11was Juan Soto who was minus money and Aaron Judge was plus money and on this very show
00:17I said I'm not putting minus money on Juan Soto I would put plus money on Aaron Judge
00:23and now because Aaron Judge has come alive and Juan Soto has been a little banged up
00:27he's back in the lineup now now we're seeing Juan Soto at 12 to 1 so from a value perspective
00:32now I would say just the opposite now is the time to put your money on Juan Soto at 12 to 1
00:38and look I never wish for any player ever to get injured but there's no question Aaron Judge has
00:44an injury history last year with that toe he said going into the season it's something he's going to
00:48have to monitor throughout the year so that's something that you have to take into consideration
00:53if you're going to lay two dollars and 75 cents on Aaron Judge I get why he's the favorite but I
00:58would not do that I would go to Juan Soto. I think for me I would take a swing on Gunnar Henderson
01:05here because you've got to remember the people who are voting for this award I think to the
01:10casual fans you'd say okay Aaron Judge has wrapped up this award which if you look at the home runs
01:14he certainly has and he keeps if he keeps up this pace he is going to win MVP because it is the sexy
01:21stab but the other sexy stab that I think baseball writers really love is wins above replacement war
01:27and guess who is leading all of baseball in total war right now that would be Gunnar Henderson
01:33not only somebody who is very good offensively but defensively this guy is an absolute wizard
01:40preventing runs being one of the better short stops in the league so the fact that he can add
01:44some power to that as well maybe that is the sabotage factor for Aaron Judge along with the
01:50factor that you mentioned Aaron Judge is fully capable of getting hurt nobody's hoping for that
01:55but it's something you definitely need to account for if you are taking the favorite here.
