On MLB Network, Reynolds picked Mike Stanton as the guy he'd give a 10 year contract today if he could. Great to see Stanton get that kind of recognition.

 

So what say you, MB? Would you give Mike Stanton a 10 year deal TODAY if you could. Not after next season, not the year after, TODAY.

Make it 20.

If he were willing to sign it, yeah I would.

 

I know he whiffs a lot, so there's some risk there...but this guy's .ISO is so ridiculous; he's a 35-40 HR guy even in his worst years to me. Another + is that he's a + defender, capable of playing CF, if the organization wants him to do that (actually it's probably what they should be doing right now).

 

There's risk with every deal, but the reward in locking up Stanton is locking up potentially the most valuable player in baseball one day. I'm always hesitant with such long-term deals, but I'd lock Stanton up through his prime years (although it's not really necessary to do it "TODAY").

As I said in the other thread, I would only consider it a year from now as long as he consistently puts up stellar numbers in 2011. This would need to be something like a .900+ OPS and 35+ home runs.

 

Given his hot and cold streaks in 2010 there is still some doubt that he's the guy you give a ten year contract.

How much would the contract be worth if we did decide to give him a 10 year contract?

Similar to the contract that Longoria signed with the Rays, just with more years. I'm not good with figuring contracts and price points. That's Lou's job lol

I'm guessing the point of this thread is to give him a Longoria-type deal, no? He puts up a year like that, and I don't see why he'd want to give us a discount.

You made the thread, therefore I expect you to come up with the numbers. On to it now!

Yeah that's exactly the point. Do we save a bunch in the long run and give him such a large contract in terms of length based on his pure potential alone, as well as his rookie season?

let's send him a party invite

"time: 2011-?"

Poptart: Shut the f*** up Harold Reynolds

 

 

Poptart is Harold Reynolds?

Ten?

 

sh*t, he's only 20, right? Give him 15 years and 90 mil.

If it were 10 years, $60 Million, it might be the kind of high-risk, high-reward move that I wouldn't mind the Marlins making as payroll rises when me move into the new stadium. He should still be at least average even if he fans 200+ times a season due to plus defense, above-average speed, and probably a worst-case slash-line something like .220/.300/.440.

 

I wonder how Hanley would feel about it? That certainly shouldn't stop them, but I'm curious.

If Stanton hits 40 next year, the Marlins won't be able to afford a ten year contract.

Ten?

 

sh*t, he's only 20, right? Give him 15 years and 90 mil.

 

 

 

Giancarlo is now 21.

10 Years 35 -45 Mil, Do it now before he destroys the world with the bat of righteousness.
