April 6, 201115 yr The feeling of anticipation for Stanton's return is on a par with The Rock's return to the ring.....
April 8, 201115 yr What's Stanton's situation? I thought he was supposed to be back by now? Expected back in starting lineup tomorrow or Saturday.

April 8, 201115 yr Im excited to see stanton too but expect more k's than anything else... Well, in all fairness... He's had 2 pinch-hitting plate appearances. First one he walked on very close pitches [a strike with most umpires but Tschida was being fair and stingy for both sides] and then struck out in the other on bad calls. So, I don't expect him to strike out too much in his return. Once, probably. Against a reliever.
April 8, 201115 yr Sure he's going to strike out. But the HR's he may hit isn't the only reason he is needed back. He provides a threat. He provides serious protection for Hanley in the lineup.

I also really like that it will push Gaby, Logan and Buck down one spot. I know I've said it before but it really seems like a much more balanced lineup with him in there. Hurry back you monster of a man
April 9, 201115 yr per Joe Capozzi twitter... Stanton back - Hanley out #Marlins 4/9 at Hou: coghlan 8, infante 4, morrison 7, stanton 9, sanchez 3, dobbs 5, buck 2, murphy 6, vazquez 1
April 9, 201115 yr Are we ever going to have our full lineup out on the field? Any takers on who gets injured the day before Hanley comes back?

April 9, 201115 yr Stanton supposedly only at 70-75 percent. What does this mean for his ability to beat out close plays? Is he just going to jog to first regardless?

April 9, 201115 yr The feeling of anticipation for Stanton's return is on a par with The Rock's return to the ring..... Which won't happen for another year.
