Stanton: "If We're Prepared to Win, I Want to Stay."

[HUGG]

"I want to win," Stanton said. "If we're prepared to win, I want to stay."

Does he believe the Marlins are prepared to win?

"Look at the record," he said.

The Marlins are in fourth place in the National League East, at 44-50. They have not posted a winning record since Stanton made his debut in 2010.

Stanton said he believed the Marlins were headed in the right direction before injuries hit. They were in first place as recently as May 9 and above .500 as recently as June 20.

"We need to keep progressing," he said. "No more backpedaling or revamping."

I was hoping he would win the Derby tonight so it looked even more ridiculous when Loria let's him walk for an Andrew Miller and a Maybin.

I know Beef was a little excited that Stanton stalled out mid air in the 2nd round but I like Stanton. Great #`s and also an above average role model as well.

No arguing balls and strikes or cursing every pop up (we're looking in your direction McGehee).

I gon quit baseball and root for the Sounders.
