July 22, 200917 yr With the trading deadline approaching, how untouchable do you guys see Stanton being? As we've seen in the past, big acquisitions can cost, but they can give you the ticket to the playoffs. Any chance you guys see us offering Stanton and a couple other guys for Halladay
July 22, 200917 yr The reason Manny wasn't a Marlin last July is because they asked for Stanton, he was the deal breaker. There is no deal in the entire planet in which Stanton will become a part of, period. He is the most untouchable player in baseball, mark my words. He would be traded if you help Beinfest at gunpoint and forced him to make the trade. He would take his own life before trading Stanton. Life doesn't mean anything without Stanton being in the Marlins future plans.
July 22, 200917 yr Lot of guys you'd take for stanton. Lincecum, Longoria, Hanley if he wasn't on our team. There's probably 30-40 guys you'd easily trade stanton for if offered.
July 22, 200917 yr Stanton is untouchable enough that he won't be traded for anyone on the market in order to benefit the mediocre team we have now.

July 22, 200917 yr The only player currently being shopped around that's worth Stanton is Hallday, but the Marlins would never go after him since he has $20 million remaining on his contract, so Stanton won't be traded.
July 22, 200917 yr Double secret untouchable! Until he stops being a beast he's not going anywhere, not to hint that he's Stokes like, but he'll have to suffer through several injury plagued seasons before I could see them parting ways.
July 22, 200917 yr Any chance you guys see us offering Stanton and a couple other guys for Halladay Please don't tell me you'd actually want this.
July 22, 200917 yr He will be a Marlin forever, period. Until he develops into a Star, and his price tag gets to big, and then he will be a Yankee!
July 22, 200917 yr Sorry guys I don't know much about the minor leaguers, why is Stanton so great? He is a 18 year old phenom that is in Double-A right now. Remember, most of the players in Double-A are at least 22. He is the #2 prospect in all of baseball. His future is as bright as anyones.
July 22, 200917 yr Sorry guys I don't know much about the minor leaguers, why is Stanton so great? He's put up incredible numbers at A and High-A (39 home runs as an 18-year-old.) He's ranked as the second best prospect in the MLB by Baseball America.
July 22, 200917 yr He will be a Marlin forever, period. Until he develops into a Star, and his price tag gets to big, and then he will be a Yankee! I'm positive the Marlins will give him a contract extension if tha happens.

Was Cabrera like that? wasnt he in the pros at 19 or something?
July 22, 200917 yr Sorry guys I don't know much about the minor leaguers, why is Stanton so great? You don't know much about the Marlins either I take it! :thumbdown HA why is Stanton so great? Well Cuz he is ok! He's as close to a can't miss prospect as there is! Much like Miguel Cabrera he's a head of the game at his age, and is projected to put up Cabrera like numbers... You do know who Miguel Cabrera is right? :confused

Was Cabrera like that? wasnt he in the pros at 19 or something? Stanton is 19 right now, Cabrera was 20 when he got to the majors. So far, Stanton has actually put up much better numbers than Cabrera through A and High-A.

You do know who Miguel Cabrera is right? :confused Yes I know about the marlins, but not so much about their AA and AAA affiliates... I spend my time watching the pros, not the minor leaguers.
July 22, 200917 yr All you need to know is that so far this year as a 19 year old, he's hit 12 HR in the Florida State League(a notorious picters league)in 50 games. Then has gone to AA, where he is young for that level, and hit 7 more HR in 36 games so far. He has struggled some in AA, but that was expected and he is figuring it out. He's one of the few elite power hitting prospects in the minors. He's also a guy that will post a high OBP. With a strong finish, it is entirely possible he'll get a September call up and maybe be in our starting OF in 2010. So yeah, he's untouchable.
July 22, 200917 yr Sorry guys I don't know much about the minor leaguers, why is Stanton so great? Mike Stanton Best Case: Keep's his K's in the low 20% and mashes 50+ HRs Line: .280/.380/.600 A couple players with comparable lines being Prince Fielder and Griffey's prime. I suppose another best case would be his K's keep being a problem but he raises his BB% to the 20% range and becomes Mark McGwire's .260/.400/.600 line Most likely: His K's continue to be a problem as he strikes out every 3-4 PAs and hinder his average, while a power thread, he's more a 30-40+ HR guy Line: .250/.340/.500 A couple players with comparable lines being a less walk version Adam Dunn and Ryan Howard (The past couple year version). Actually, I'd say Ryan Howard's past couple years is damn near what to expect. walks around 10%, K's around 32%, .250/.335 AVG/OBP. The question is just will he be a 30-40+ HR guy or will he be the 45-50+ HR guy that Howard continues to be. Worst case: His k's and contact just are too much of a problem and it crushes his average and hurts other parts of his game. Line: .230/.330/.450 A couple players with somewhat comparable lines being Russell Branyan and the post 07 ASB Dan Uggla (although his K rate has actually really improved and is in the low 20% lol) http://www.marlinsbaseball.com/forums/topic/89692-projecting-our-prospects-future-lines/

Don't sweat it. Most of these people have never watched any of the guys in the minors either. Not even in ST. They go all on what their numbers are and what the scouts say, which IMO can be very decieving at times. But Stanton is a special player. And with the added income of the new ballpark will most likely be a Marlin for a very long time. He is one of maybe 3 or 4 guys in the minors that are untouchable. Unless of course someone makes an offer that is so eye popping that it would be considered criminally insane.

July 22, 200917 yr Stanton=Untouchable until the he requires a significant investment by the Marlins.
