Giancarlo Stanton, OF

[Big Z]

Is Stanton finally coming back tomorrow?

Last I heard, he text Redmond and the trainer to say that he was ready.

[HUGG]

Joe Capozzi @joecapMARLINS
#Marlins mgr Mike Redmond said Giancarlo Stanton could return Monday bc Casey Kotchman not available to due to sore ribs

That was before today's game. No new news.

[Namaste]

Common Stanton. It's fucking go time, guy.

Here are the players who made it to 100 career home runs the fastest in terms of games played:

Ryan Howard, Phillies -- 325 games
Ralph Kiner, Pirates -- 385 games
Chuck Klein, Phillies -- 390 games
Bob Horner, Braves -- 390 games
Mark McGwire, Athletics -- 393 games
Joe DiMaggio, Yankees -- 395 games
Eddie Mathews, Braves -- 397 games
Ryan Braun, Brewers -- 400 games
Stanton -- 400 games

One hundred homers in 400 games is mighty impressive, but we also have to remember Stanton is only 23 years old. He's a pup. Here are the players who reached 100 homers the earliest, by age:

Mel Ott, Giants -- 22 years, 132 days
Tony Conigliaro, Red Sox -- 22 years, 197 days
Mathews -- 22 years, 292 days
Alex Rodriguez, Mariners -- 23 years, 16 days
Andruw Jones, Braves -- 23 years, 62 days
Johnny Bench, Reds -- 23 years, 161 days
Albert Pujols, Cardinals -- 23 years, 185 days
Hank Aaron, Braves -- 23 years, 191 days
Ken Griffey Jr., Mariners -- 23 years, 206 days
Stanton -- 23 years, 221 days

The Pirates can't wait to trade their #2 and #3 specs for him.

[Miamarlin21]

Cole or Taillon would be nice.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Cole or Taillon would be nice.

From what I heard in the offseason, they really aren't interested in trading either. It was brought up in trade rumors over Profar and they were pretty adament about not trading them.

[Miamarlin21]

Not saying it would happen, but they damn sure not trade Stanton for anything less than one of them.

[AdamRavs]

They just need that blank check and sign him. We had one once in a generational talent. Lets not lose the 2nd.

[emkayseven]

How can you have two once-in-a-generation talents within 5 years of each other?

[Beef]

A front office with a great eye for talent? ;-)

But also, generation - only one - yeah.

[Chewford]

Different kinds of talent perhaps.

[Namaste]

Cole or Taillon would be nice.

So as long as we get one of those prospects and a few other non-impact names, you're good with trading Stanton.

[emkayseven]

Yeah Cole and Taillon are both once-in-a-generation talents

[Miamarlin21]

So as long as we get one of those prospects and a few other non-impact names, you're good with trading Stanton.

No, I meant a package starting with one of those. I don't think Pittsburgh has enough talent like Texas or Seattle to get a deal done.
