Is averaging 8.5 bWAR good? Can someone tell me if averaging 8.5 bWAR is good or not?!?!?!? 🤔

It's great, but it's not 10.

No doubt, judge will win 8-12 games for the Yanks. I'm not arguing otherwise. My point was about one man teams not winning  much.

He could turn a 70 win Yankee team into an 80-82 team, for sure.

All their eggs are in one basket!

And honestly, Aaron Judge had two 10.8 bWAR seasons. That's far closer to being an 11 WAR player than a 10 WAR player. My apologies to Mr Judge!

Again, it's been 30 years since the Yanks have been under .500. Really an amazing stretch when you think about it. 

Yup, crazy consistency.

Pretty much, yes, and even one very big basket is not enough to get to glory, IMO.
