Michael Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Stanton in Lineup vs. Red Sox Stanton in lineup vs. Red Sox JUPITER, Fla. -- On a day their third base position became unsettled, the Marlins solidified themselves in right field. For the first time in Grapefruit League play, Mike Stanton is in the lineup, playing right field and batting cleanup on Thursday against the Red Sox at Roger Dean Stadium. Stanton, 21, has been out with a strained right quad, which he suffered on Feb. 27 in a scrimmage against the University of Miami. "With Michael back, that bottom half of our lineup looks stronger with him in the middle," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. Earlier on Thursday, Matt Dominguez was reassigned to Minor League camp. Donnie Murphy and Emilio Bonifacio will get looks at third base until the season begins. Javier Vazquez will pitch for Florida on Thursday, while Clay Buchholz will throw for the Red Sox. RED SOX 1) Jacoby Ellsbury, CF 2) Jed Lowrie, SS 3) David Ortiz, DH 4) Kevin Youkilis, 3B 5) Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C 6) Mike Cameron, RF 7) Ryan Kalish, LF 8) Drew Sutton, 1B 9) Nate Spears, 2B MARLINS 1) Emilio Bonifacio, CF 2) Omar Infante, 2B 3) Hanley Ramirez, SS 4) Mike Stanton, RF 5) Gaby Sanchez, 1B 6) Logan Morrison, LF 7) John Buck, C 8) Donnie Murphy, 3B 9) Javier Vazquez, P -- Joe Frisaro Definitely great news!

enterthemadness Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 This is good news. Now for Cogs to be back and hopefully Murph or Boni can do "decent" at third til Matt is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Rodriguez said this morning in his interview with Joe Rose, that we really don't know what we have because of Cogs, Stanton and Morrison missing so much time this spring. He sounds like he might be using Bonifacio more than he likes because of that to relieve the outfield, especially in CF. Has Boni played LF & RF in the past ? I can't recall myself.....

Michael Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I don't believe in the regular season, but Boni was in RF in a winter league and played left some this spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 He only has 2 HR's and 6 RBI's so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnellders Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Safe to say he's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK. I know it's just 1 spring game and all, but he's now made my mind up to have a cheeky wee punt on him to be the HR Leader at odds of 40/1 (16 players are shorter odds).

Iowa Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Where are you getting your odds from? Bodog has him at 25-1 Either way, I may have to put down 10 measly bucks for the heck of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom2613 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 From the radio broadcast they sounded like absolute bombs. He just singled with an rbi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Now we've seen the already legendary power of Marlins outfielder Mike Stanton. He hit a three-run mammoth shot to leftcenter that seemed to either clear or come close to clearing a building beyond the fence against Buchholz. from boston.com live updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entendu Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Apparently they're going to talk with Stanton on BBTN, but he's still playing aid BBTN is over in like 4 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he left the game in the 5th. Maybe he's doing some post-game exercises or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I assume they can but it's nothing I'd assume Stanton would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
