Mike Stanton: Raw Power
Imagine how good it would feel to hit a home run every fourth fly ball in the major leagues. Well the Miami Marlins’ right fielder, Mike Stanton, knows that feeling. Stanton posted the highest HR/FB rate among qualified hitters in the major leagues in 2011 at 24.8%. In Stanton’s first full major league season, 2011, he hit 34 home runs and posted a wOBA of .378 with...

Give the Miami Marlins owners a New Stadium, They will get you Stars
After a decade of the Florida Marlins ownership fighting the city of Miami people to get them significant funding to have their own stadium, rather than playing at Dolphins Stadium, the owners finally got their way for the 2012 MLB season. As they will enter a new aquarium-filled Marlins Ballpark and be invigorated as a new Miami Marlins baseball team. The invigoration of ownership...

Fish on Fielder? Well, not yet
In his talks with clubs about Prince Fielder, agent Scott Boras has suggested that Fielder is the game’s last young power bat until Marlins right fielder Mike Stanton joins him among the game's elite.
If you believe that assertion — and many club executives agree that there is a dearth of power throughout the majors and minors — wouldn’t it be tempting...

Will Mike Stanton lead the league in HR’s next season?
In a little more than one full MLB season Miami Marlins RF Mike Stanton has quickly become my favorite player to watch. He has a cannon for an arm, a freakishly athletic dual sport body that should carry him for 15+ MLB seasons, and that light tower power than all of us here in the Miami area are raving about.
Mike Stanton was on pace and very narrowly missed the NL Home Run mark...

Soler also on Marlins’ radar
So much attention has been focused on Yoenis Cespedes, the Cuban defector regarded as a five-tool player.
But the 26-year-old outfielder isn’t the only talented Cuban native who has caught the attention of a number of teams, including the Marlins, Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs.
Jorge Soler, 19, also has been working out for teams in the Dominican Republic.

Daily Notes | Top Keepers for 2012 (21-40)
Back by popular demand, 2012 keeper rankings: 21-40
21. Andrew McCutchen – Five-stat player that is still improving? Sign me up.
22. Curtis Granderson – Yes, I know he modified his swing which may be part of the reason for the spike in his HR/FB rate. It’s a pretty big spike though, so I’m not sure if he is going to hit much more than 30 HRs next year. However, I think...

The Morning After: Game Recaps for July 24th
Marlins 5, Mets 4
Moving the Needle: David Wright gives the Mets a lead with a homer, +.396 WPA. Down 3-2 with none on and two outs in the seventh, Carlos Beltran singled. That brought up Wright, who, after going down 0-2, worked the count full before popping one over the wall in left. The 4-3 lead would last just an inning, though, as the Marlins came back in the eighth to reclaim...

Carlos Zambrano offers health but no help in Cubs’ 13-3 loss to Marlins
Finding the good in all the bad seems to be a daily challenge for the Cubs.

The bad was obvious from the start, when a 29-pitch first inning of two walks and two hits resulted in three runs for the Marlins. Mike Stanton added to those with a home run...
