Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Michael Stanton

Michael Stanton was a 2007 2nd round pick of the marlins last year. He started off hot in low-a but has since cooled off. His line currently stands at .267/.377/.494 with 10 hr. The scary thing about him is his 71/10 k/bb rate. The guy does have a high ceiling though. I was wondering what everyones thoughts were. I found this on project prospoect about him:

"Michael Stanton, OF, 11/8/1989, Low-A, Florida Marlins: Stanton is a 6-foot-1 soft tossing lefty reliever. He has good command and is very tough against left-handed hitters. Wait a minute, wrong Mike Stanton. This Mike Stanton is an 6-foot-5 multi-sport talent who was taken 76th overall in the 2007 draft out of high school. Stanton is a very athletic player with big power potential -- and can currently handle center-field. He struggled mightily in his pro debut, but his raw potential is far too great to just look at that 56 AB sample size. Stanton will start the 2008 season in Low-A Greenboro, where he will be the 4th youngest player in the level. He certainly has a chance to struggle again in his first full season, however if he puts up numbers from the start and continues to produce, there is no doubt that he has the highest ceiling of any player listed here. Stanton is the type of player who could eventually be a top 10 prospect if all goes right and he lives up to his steep potential. Definitely watch this one."

What are your thoughts on him and what kind of ceiling do you think he has. The marlins are assembling some good young hitters in their system with Stanton, Logan Morrison, Matt Dominguez and not to forget Maybin.

RE

He may have cooled off,but he has heated back up

6 HR in his last 8 games…the K totals are not suprising for a young high school player…

he not has 14 doubles and 11 HR in 200 Abs this year…obviously the power, especially for only being 18.

Thats what I was thinking too

The power is spectacular for an 18 year old kid. I am worried about the k’s but the kid has focused on football and baseball his whole life so the k’s will come down. The power is definately encouraging though. Its early but hes looking to have 30-40 hr power
