The Case to Trade Stanton Now

Featured Replies

Why is this fan base always looking to trade our stars.. Jose now G. Angels were terrible this season, I'm sure their fans aren't looking to move Trout.

 

 

The case to trade Giancarlo Stanton: he has too much power and is preventing the team from setting the single season record in singles and single season record in fewest runs scored. #nomorepower #highavglowslg

 

Also, home runs kill rallies, just ask Harold "I Played Baseball" Reynolds.

Say what you want but Cantu I would say is a better hitter than Stanton. Even if he is healthy his 162 game average is 102 rbi. He has only 1 100 rbi season. Jorge Cantu played 3 years with the Marlins (2 full years). 100 rbi and 95 rbi. 

 

Ok here is what I think could help Stanton. Instead of smashing 500 ft homers every swing, try to just make solid contact. He has so much natural power that he doesn't need to swing 100% to have a homerun. With him his focus should be on hitting the sweet spot and swinging say 90-95% instead. He will have much better bat control and make much more contact. I think his average would sky rocket along with his rbis and homeruns. But he won't get his 475 ft laser beams. He is so strong he doesn't need to swing so hard to hit it out. They all count the same as long as it goes over the fence.

HITTER.

 

I didn't say weight lifter or homerun hitter or arm wrestler or football player.

 

Prado is a better hitter than Stanton, 1/2 the Marlins are a better HITTER.

Giancarlo is like a mini Mark Mcgwire. Or is it the other way around? Don't mind me, I'm just brainstorming.

Stanton>>>Cantu

 

All I am saying was cantu was a consistent hitter and very clutch situational hitter. Cantu has a higher % a baserunner scores when he is batting than Stanton, Cantu has just about half the strikeout percentage, higher % runners advance from 2nd to 3rd from score from 3rd. Stanton is much better at slugging and power no doubt. Sorry, I do not speak English as a first language but when I think of "hitter" I think of bat control and situational hitting, not bench presses and sleeveless batting practice, and violent grimacing swings.

I'm sending an email to Loria and co.. MUST RETIRE Cantu jersey.. best hitter in the history of the marlins since his out RBIed Stanton in a shorter time period

 

 

I sat next to Cantu at a Marlins dinner years ago. He likes to cut his steak into small pieces and roll it around in his mashed potatoes and then eat them together that way. It was interesting

 

Turn you on?

Hey @RIP16, my plane years ago had some mechanical issues and I thought I was going to die but luckily it landed safely. Are you glad I survived that traumatic event or disappointed?

 

My brain years ago had some mechanical issues and I got ran over by a car and don't remember anything. Are you glad I survived that traumatic event or disappointed?

 

Life is like that. Traumatic events have a way of sneaking up on us. We are all in this life together. I am supporting Stanton. I am not cynical. 

 

Sorry everybody, I love you all dearly. I wish I could meet in real life and have coffee or have a drink in a breezy cool night on the beach.
