5 miles per game? That sounds like a lot. Are you sure about that? Who was pitching that a CFer was moving around that much? There are short bursts and sudden stops and turns in LF and RF too. Judge missed the most time while he was playing RF. Sorry Pat, but I don't see it as a big deal if Judge has to play CF for 1/2-1 season.
Even if they were counting the time a CF goes back and forth from the dugout to his position in the outfield, I don't think it would be 5 miles.
Even counting that time, that shouldn't be a stressful back and forth for a pro athlete. |

I think you seriously underestimatie the amount of running a center fielder does I've read studies that put it at as much as 5 miles per game with dozens of short bursts, sudden stops and turns. With all due respect to football linebackers, few are still active at age 32, none are as big as Judge, none plays back to back days and none has a guaranteed contract for $360 M. If Cashman thought Judge was a true center rielder, therer was no reason for him locking up Aaron Hicls in Feb of 2019.

I called my old pal Bernie and asked him to weigh in on our conversation: www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/yankees-legend-sounds-warnings-about-aaron-judge/ar-BB1iITYI?ocid=msedgntp&pc=NMTS&cvid=137f5afa9d9848969f54fa47a22497a4&ei=5 |

Sneaky lil shitz I was… Wouldn't you log the first mile just running to and back from center 18 times ? |

When you make 40 million a year, you play anywhere they need you!  |

If the distance from the bench to center field is 310 feet and you have to get there and return 17 times in a 9 inning games that is that is 5270 feet. Humor me and give me the first mile for that alone. |

Left and right fielders do the same thing They do and that is why I thought the idea that a guy could play an entire game only running 1 mile was not accurate. The extra running in center if primarily the function of having to back up on balls hit to either side. Plus center is just deeper and as noted above, you have to bacj up throws going down to 2nd. |

I dunno about 5 miles, but at least 3 seems legit. |

I dunno about 5 miles, but at least 3 seems legit. I thought the 5 was pretty hight too and did try to cover myself by prefacing it with "as much as". I have drives full of articles I've downloaded over the years but never organized. I am searching to find the study where I got the number. But 3 is probably right about average. |

Humor me and give me the first mile for that alone. I'll give you the distance, but unless Charlie Hustle was playing in the outfield, most skip a couple times, job a bit, and then finish the last few feet walking. I've never seen any outfielder "run" to and from their outfield position 18 times from grass to dugout. Heck, it's been a long time since I've seen a player actually "run" to first base four times per game. |
