    I'd take Ohtani, but to further RMR's point, this is where Judge's season is in regards to historical wRC+

    Ohtani just drilled in the lower wrist. Looked bad. He stayed in, hopefully he’s ok to swing and play.

    Ohtani especially since he's already throwing from a mound

    Without pitching, Judge (narrowly). Pitching included? Ohtani.

    Since this is a Zero Reality Question, I'll give this zero reality answer...

    This is the Cincinnati REDS we're talking about.

    Since it's a 100% conclusion that they wouldn't place anyone else with talent around either player, I don't want either player. Judge or Ohtani would have this team's roster built to be less than a .500 team and no better than it is now, with a lot less promise.

    What if you had BOTH on the same team. Can't miss, right?

    Wait, the Angels essentially had that. Didn't go great.

    Re: Judge Or Ohtani: Who Would You Rather Have?

    It really says how special Ohtani is that almost all would take him without hesitation over a a 1.200 OPS, nearly 10 WAR player.

    (Ohtani here too. But it feels insane to say no to Judge. More insane to say no to Shohei.)

    From Lance McAlister
    Un. Real.
    Shohei Ohtani tonight:
    6-for-6; 2 2Bs, 3 HRs, 2 SB; 10 RBI.
    1st player MLB history in the 50/50 club.
    51 HR, 51 SB.
    Oh by the way, he's rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery.

    Re: Judge Or Ohtani: Who Would You Rather Have?

    I'm personally more of a fan of Judge than I am Ohtani. I really like how Judge conducts himself on and off the field. That said, if I own a MLB team, Ohtani wins on the marketing side of things pretty significantly. And, that's not meant to be a slight on Judge, rather just pointing out how huge Ohtani's following is. He's almost a mythical figure at this point.

    Re: Judge Or Ohtani: Who Would You Rather Have?

    Over a century ago, it was decided that even though he was one of MLB's best pitchers, Babe Ruth would be more valuable if he was an everyday player and basically gave up pitching. Watching Ohtani this season, I believe I'd follow the Babe Ruth precedent.
