Giancarlo Stanton, OF

[FishFF]

According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, the Mets "continue to monitor" Giancarlo Stanton.
It's a safe assumption that many other teams are doing the same. To acquire Stanton from the Marlins, the Mets would surely have to fork over top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler and top catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud, and maybe even one additional youngster. Martino also believes that the Mets have looked into acquiring star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez from the Rockies.

Not surprising, as I'm sure most teams are.

haha d'Arnaud

[Mainge]

Brantly though

[Fritz]

I wanted to make a D'Arnaud joke too.

I never understood why the d is lower cased in d'Arnaud.

[AdamRavs]

I shouldn't have to say this but it is the Marlins. We damn well better never trade him inside the division.

[Miamarlin21]

Texas (Profar, Olt) or Seattle (Walker, Zunino). Which do you like better?

[Mainge]

Seattle cuz MK7.

I'd probably prefer Texas for baseball reasons

I never understood why the d is lower cased in d'Arnaud.

It's French. A d' (in front of a word starting with a vowel) translates to "of". So d'Arnaud actually translates to "of Arnaud". Since "of" and the French equivalent "de" or "d'" is a preposition not a noun, it remains lower case.

Seattle cuz MK7.

I'd probably prefer Texas for baseball reasons

Seattle - same reason

Other: Detroit (Maybin, Miller)

[AdamRavs]

Seattle my 2nd fav team.

It's French. A d' (in front of a word starting with a vowel) translates to "of". So d'Arnaud actually translates to "of Arnaud". Since "of" and the French equivalent "de" or "d'" is a preposition not a noun, it remains lower case.

Indeed, however the spelling of a name such as D'Arcy is capitalized it appears inconsistent in its application.

We don't know if it's because he's lost motivation or because its just a slump or a combination of both but:

WE'RE OFFICIALLY WORRIED, BOYS.

:mjpop

[Ramp]

slump, 0 protection, trying to do too much

regardless of his motivation, it would be hard to believe he's ok with these shitty numbers
