Jim Bowden: Sox top 5 likeliest to sign judge

[bmags]

I think people are wrong about judge. That was insane pressure last year. He has handled CF, some everything asked of him. He is a unicorn for his size. Also incredibly nice and gracious.

Whatever team gets him will be lucky. For baseball, he should be a yankee for life.

He doesn't seem like he has a body type that would age gracefully, and he's already on the wrong side of 30. I think he's an amazing talent but also a very dangerous signing for whoever gets him. And we all know it won't be the Sox. I'm cool with the Yankees blowing their budget on bringing him back.

It’s definitely possible. But he’s still a positive CFer on defense, he is a good RFer. He’s got a long road to eventual DH, he’s not signing pujols.

Some players are just exceptions, and I think he is. But who knows, he could lose just a little bat speed and suddenly is just Chris carter.

I didn't even know Jim Bowden drank.
