Mike Newman's Scouting Report on Mike Stanton
Maybe even more impressive were the pitches he missed badly. I have heard people talk about "big league fly balls" as a demonstration of power in their own right. Stanton's swinging under the ball and making contact towards the handle resulted in two rain-makers to the opposite field which the right fielder caught at the base of the right-center field fence. In the playoff game alone, Stanton would have had three home runs with 15-20 pounds of additional muscle. It is one thing for a player to take a ball over the fence when he hits it on the sweet spot. It is quite unique when a player has the ability to badly hit a ball out to any field. His raw power is a true 80 on the 20-80 scale and his in-game power is also an 80 making him a very rare prospect.
Yes, I only posted that because I traded for him in the UBA league:)
I did hear Marlins analyst Tommy Hutton on Baseball This Morning on XM 175 on my ride into work and he said to watch for Stanton and 1B prospect Logan Morrison to be called up around mid-season this year.
