Discussion of other teams' prospects

first item - mike stanton (no not that one). this one belongs to the marlins.

 

he reportedly hit a 500 foot home run yesterday, and now leads all of baseball with 14 home runs. he hit 28 home runs in 129 games last year, and is tearing up the southern league to the tune of a .340/.477/.840/1.317 line at age 20. the biggest concern with him was swinging-and-missing (144 K's in last year) but he's struck out only 31 times in 29 games this year, while drawing 26 walks (probably because pitchers have figured out that it's a bad idea to pitch to him).

 

looks like the marlins may have another emerging star in their organization. hopefully we can trade for him when he becomes too expensive for them, assuming that they're still in florida in 5 years.

Stanton is going to be a good one. I think he will be better than Heyward, but whatever. I also love what KC has going right now. Michael Montgomery is as good a pitcher as anyone not named Strasburg. Hosmer and Moustakas are both raking as well. Although I would like to see more power from Hosmer.

They will be, but they will have shifted to the AL as part of a realignment and by then will be known as Miami rather than Florida. That's how the Cubs will win the 2015 World Series as we know will happen from Back to the Future II. :D
