    He's listed at 6'7" 275lbs. I hope he can bring the power like Frank Howard did. I guess if it doesn't work out he can always go pay Vince Mcmahon a visit.

    I think you're off by 45 lbs, he's listed at 230.

    ...depends on which source you look at...I'm 6'0" and 215 and work out every day and at my age, still only have about 17% body fat...so at 6'7" I know damned well that Judge weighs more than 20 pounds more than me. I say this because my Son is also 6'7" and he weighs 15 pounds more than me and he's lanky...but Judge is a freak of nature and is an absolute monster.

    ...I gotta lean towards the listed "275" weight as being more accurate...whatever the hell he weighs, he should be our every day RFer before long.

    I'm looking forward to seeing that kid brought up. Saw him a couple of times in ST and he looks like the real deal.

    Yeah I've seen seen him listed at 230 & 275 but whatever the hell he weighs after watching Beltran stroll after the balls in RF I want to see this kid get up here ASAP.

    ...although Beltran's bat has been better recently, he still looks sluggish in the OF...don't know if he's not mentally focussed or if his age catching up to him.

    The last few games I've seen AT LEAST two balls fall in front of him that anyone else would have gotten to.

    Beltran since that injury in Tampa last year seems to coast after baseballs out there.

    If Belrean can stay hot & get his average above 250-260 I'd try to unload him at the trade deadline to an american league team in need of a DH. Even if it means paying part of his remaining salary.

    I'm hoping he's on the fast track... that way, he's got less time in the minors to get screwed up by the coaches down there
