There's no guarentee Stanton would even hit if he is called up. He could K just as much as Maybin, but give you a little more power in the line-up.
Power isn't really the main issue with the line-up though. Hanley, Cantu, Uggla, and Ross are all going to hit their fair share of homers.
Why would you want to start platooning Cogs and Ross now when they are finally starting to show some life in their bat? It's too early to make any crazy changes... if the team fell into a horrible downward spiral or maybe an injury popped up then I could see giving Stanton a go.
As of now.. keep him down and don't start that financial clock yet, because his bat in the line-up isn't going to make that drastic of a difference at this point in time.
