[Swifty]

1-1 hr 2bb 2 rbi


--------------------
1 of the 2 walks intentional.

Jimminy Christmas.

Get the man to Miami.

Jimminy Christmas.

Get the man to Miami.

If he keeps this up, I can't argue with that anymore.

[CrimsonCane]

12 HR in 23 games. That is absurd.

[Swifty]

He's slugging .866

[nny]

Leads all of baseball in HRs, OBP, SLG, obviously OPS, and 2nd in walks

[Flum]

He's slugging .866

Our outfielders could potentially put up an OPS of .866

*does double take*

wait wait wait

SLUGGING?

[Swifty]

Can we call him the best hitting prospect in organizational history?

Or does he still trail Miggy/Herms?

I think the best prospect in organizational history is Beckett and I don't know if Stanton's there yet.

[Flum]

We've never had someone with this sort of historic potential that I can remember. I've never seen numbers that have made me so incredulous. His OBP is .505!!! More than half the time, he's on base.
--------------------
Mike Stanton: 50% of the time, he gets on base every time.

We've had plenty of prospects that had tremendous potential, but we've never seen performance like this that I can remember, what's more from a 20 year old.

[Big Z]

I have a gut feeling he's very close to being called up to the big leagues. He can't do much more at AA then what he's been doing, I think he's knocking on the Marlins door right now telling them he's ready.

I believe the only issue right now is a roster spot for Stanton, I don't think there's any way you send Maybin back down, another demotion for Maybin might be brutal mentally for him.

[Bobbob1313]

His combined AA line:

.255/.354/.534 (.888)

I think he's got this.

[Big Z]

I wouldn't pay attention to last years numbers in AA. He's been a lot more selective at the plate this season and most of his hits have been for extra bases. His numbers right now are outstanding. He seems to have mastered AA, pitchers don't even want to pitch to him, and when they do he makes them pay.

I think the best prospect in organizational history is Beckett and I don't know if Stanton's there yet.

Migs in AA before the callup:

.365/.429/.609 (1.038) 10 HR, 59 RBI (69 G)

That's pretty good

Beckett in 2001:

14-1, 1.54 ERA 25 GS 203 K 34 BB

[Bobbob1313]

Sure, but he wasn't as highly rated by most prospect services as Stanton is right now, so I think it's fair to say he's the best hitting prospect we've ever had.
