So in the hobby world, who do you think will be this year's Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger?

Hopefully Hays and Sisco in the baseball world. Hobby, who knows?

As far as hype in the hobby goes, any rookie that makes the opening day roster for the Yankees(Adams,Torres), Dodgers(Buehler). Not sure there is much path to playing time for a rookie on many expected contenders right now. I'd bet this year has no Judge or Bellinger. There will be some decent rookies but I doubt any get that much coverage.
When considering legitimate star potential there has to be a path to playing time which limits options for good teams. Such a rare occurrence when guys come up and get serious playing time on a team that ends up being good and gets that much coverage. If there is a situation like Judge or Bellinger I think it will be due to an injury during the year for a contender. Victor Robles, Lewis Brinson?

Victor Robles is a good call. He could get playing time and could be very, very good.

Going to be hard to replicate a Judge/Bellinger but a few hot names should be Robles, Torres, Honeywell(whom I am a big fan of personally), Acuna, Brinso, Buehler, Crawford and of course Ohtani.
Of those I would pick Honeywell for AL ROY and Acuna as NL ROY.

I dont think Ohtani willl amount to much. Hes going to set the hobby on fire for a few months and make some flippers a little money but beyond that I believe he will be a bust.
I fully expect for Miami and Tampa to have 1-2 guys who no one really knows much about to take off and set the world on fire in the next 2-3 years. Both teams are loaded up with decent prospects in my opinion only lol.

Hays has flown under the radar. Hit about .330 in High-A Frederick and AA Bowie last season and has an outstanding arm.

I agree about Miami and Tampa.
For Tampa I personally go out of my my to add Honeywell and Bauers whenever possible. Also Adames, Sanchez, McKay and DeLeon
