i have chance right now but judge is out there.

obp is not a problem.

other parks are vet77, wrigley 59, comiskey 19.

IMO , Chance is the better hitter . Judge is the better fielder. Chance doesn't hit RHP that well generally but will put up better #'s vs RHP than Judge will vs LHP. Its a wash kind of , depends on what you need . They both go down for 15 poss.

Chance without question. :D

IF you need a leadoff or #2, Chance is the far better choice, much better steals and speed.

For what its worth, I choose Judge every time.

... but obviously I must be wrongheaded in this regard because I've read here that without question Chance is the better choice. :)

Can't really go wrong with either.

Are you willing to pay for the extra that Chance gives you? It would also depend on if you need a lefty batting 1-5 in your lineup.

Nev,

You're half right.

Chance. Judge has had some good seasons for me, some really bad ones. Chance is money as a leadoff hitter and I've never had a bad season out of him (other than injuries...)
