Yeah J Hey.

If he wins the R.O.T.Y. I'm giving up on the voters forever.

 

To me 1st is a tight race between Jaime Garcia, Gaby and Starlin Castro with Posey, Colvin and Davis in the mix right behind them.

Ike Davis has a ways to go

Seriously, who wouldn't be thrilled if they signed him to 8 year/$55 million tomorrow?

 

Why fool around.

Give him that plus 10%-20% of the franchise and sign him for life. And that's including concessions Loria. I'd buy more hot dogs if I knew he was making 20% of the profit.

That would work for me.

I've never seen a rookie like this.

 

I lol'd.

 

Not to be a buzzkill, but Braun and Pujols were better, plus Piazza and McGwire were pretty good, too. And A-Rod batted .358 with a 1.045 OPS in his first full year. He was also 20, so that's probably the most impressive.

On pace for ~5.5 WAR over a full year, and he has above-average speed to boot :o

I was just going to say this. Get it done. Heck, if we need to forget Dan Uggla, just forget it. Mike Stanton should be the priority; he needs to be here...forever. The kid is a phenom. Possibly one of the all-time greats when it's all said and done. It's amazing what he's doing, and more amazing how quickly he has improved.

 

I definitely agree with this. Mike Stanton looks like the complete package....a truly incredible player the likes of the Marlins fans have never seen before. A sheer dominant force. Granted, he's not yet the player he's going to develop into, but that's just plain ridiculous to even think about. If I thought about it, my mind would explode. Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so excited about a Marlins player before. So much power. So much athleticism. If he stays healthy, this guy is going to be a legend and could single handedly revive baseball in South Florida.

It would be smart to give him a Longoria deal. Something like six years and then three option years.

Anyone still think he needs another year in the minors? ....that he needs to play some triple A ball? He was too young to be called up?

Stanton may just have pulled into top 5 in contention for ROY

and moving up the charts fast!

6 years/$17.5M (2008-13), plus 2014-16 club options

 

That's Longo's Contract, I'd be absolutely thrilled to sign Giancarlo to a deal similar to that.

6/7 years/ 19 M with club options 2017-2020.

 

I'd buy his Jersey the hour they sign him.

Another thing I love about Giancarlo is that he doesn't get emotional on the field.

You rarely see him get mad or frustrated even when he was struggling and he cracks a smile every here and there which is good as he seems to be laid back, down to earth and won't be a problem in the locker room.

He hit two bombs in one night and didn't even crack a smile on either one, he seemed a bit more how should I say this, in disbelief that he didn't hit the ball harder or farther.

 

I LOVE HIM!

When the new uniforms come out, I am buying a Stanton jersey... Lock this kid up now please

Stanton has officially surpassed Hanley as the franchise player. I too will be buying a Stanton jersey before anything else. I have to say Stanton is the most exciting rookie to ever wear a Marlins uniform, even moreso than Dontrelle and he is just getting better!

His comment last night was, "I can't count on these streaks."

 

I am in love

It will be interesting to see how Hanley handles being number two.

 

Work harder or sulk?

I want in on this. Stanton is a legend. AT TWENTY!!!!!

I don't think that in Hanley's mind he thinks he's number 2...

Miguel Cabrera?

I read some where that some of the guys on the team call him "The franchise" or "franchise." Can't remember which one.

Stanton has more power than any 20 year old I have ever seen in the six decades I have been an avid baseball fan.

 

Power to all fields.

 

The only one close was ARod, but he wasn't real close.

 

Giancarlo is the next great power hitter.

I think it's about time we get the campaign started

Hard to believe Jake Smolinski was drafted ahead of Stanton!

If he hits a 1.096 in his past 31 every 31 games... :mis2

Mike is making every game we have left that much more fun to watch, even though the playoffs are barely a possibility. I get giddy every AB he has.

And we get to watch him in a Marlins uniform for four more years.
