August 12, 201015 yr Mike Stanton wins 9-5! W: Volstad (6-8) L: Olsen (3-4) 2B: M Stanton 2 (14); D Murphy (3) HR: M Stanton (11); H Ramirez (16) Stanton raised his average 20 points tonight.
August 12, 201015 yr Stanton missed cycle... but, he shows some bright side for next season. He might be Next Big Worm.
August 12, 201015 yr Is it too early to ink Stanton to a 15-year contract? That's just ridiculous. He deserves no less than a 20-year contract.
August 12, 201015 yr Is it too early to ink Stanton to a 15-year contract? The league would veto it, like that guy Ilya from the Devils :lol
August 12, 201015 yr solid game but i still have no faith in volstad at all. nice to see a good outing from leo and its finally nice to see him use the slider a little bit which ive been wishing for him to do for so long. and man do we need to get rid of this 4 game win streak curse .

Figures Livan pitches tomorrow too...never fare well against him. yeah pretty much anything goes wrong as evidenced by the 5-2 lead against the braves that turned into an 8 run inning as well as the padres game where we lost 5-4 basically on logan morrison's misplay in left. not even JJ could get us the 4th game.

August 12, 201015 yr I voted Other...The other being Admin Beinfest for drafting such a fine physical specimen that has become Giancarlo Cruz-Michael Stanton.
August 12, 201015 yr Author Was there even a need for a poll tonight? Because this is a democracy. The people deserve a chance to vote!
August 12, 201015 yr Author Also I really REALLY wish we had Donnie Murphy on the bench to start the season instead of Barden.
August 12, 201015 yr Evan Longoria 3b 6 years/$17.5M (2008-13), plus 2014-16 club options * 6 years/17.5M (2008-13), plus 2014-16 club options o signed extension with Tampa Bay 4/18/08 o 08:$0.5M, 09:$0.55M, 10:$0.95M, 11:$2M, 12:$4.5M, 13:$6M, 14:$7.5M club option ($3M buyout), 15:$11M club option, 16:$11.5M club option o if Longoria otherwise would be arbitration-eligible + after 2010, 2011 salary increases to $2.5M + after 2011, buyout for 2014 option increases to $4M o club must decide by 11/2014 whether to exercise 2015-16 options o 2016 option may increase to $14M based on rankings in MVP vote o award bonus: $50,000 for All Star selection Give Stanton next year at a steady rate and to start out in 2012. Cant jump the guy, but if by the ASB in 2012, he is still doing well, got something in this framework worked out.
August 12, 201015 yr By the way, ESPN's boxscore has his homerun at 433 feet! Adam Dunn's was 436 :o Hanley's was 447?!!? (I don't know; I didn't watch) :o :o :o
August 12, 201015 yr I didn't see Dunn's HR, but Stanton's HR looked further than Hanley's. Hanley's was to center, though, wasn't it?
