Yeah, don't think there is anyway Stanton goes to NY.
In better news, Henry Owens was claimed by the Dbacks. Now we can stop living in a dream world where Henry Owens was ever going to contribute to the team.
A head of the curve for sure. But that doesn't smell like a Japanese Babe Ruth or $200 or $300 million dollar man to me.
Also who is to say he makes the major leagues at 23? What if he takes a two year adjustment period in North America? There's no absolutes with prospects. Maybe I'm more...
Well he's been called the Japanese Babe Ruth without ever taking a major league swing or throwing a pitch to a major league hitter. As I've said, the media needs to get off this guy's dick until he's played an inning of North American ball.
I'm pretty sure ZIPS ran a projection for him and...
For me its not about the dollars spent. Teams have obviously spent a ton more on foreign players from Asia and Cuba.
He turns out shit? Not the end of the world.
For me its about the hype that this guy has, when we haven't even seen him throw a major league pitch.
Yeah Boston is 100% out on Stanton and it appears on all accounts he's staying in the NL. So I'm not concerned at all.
Has it actually been confirmed that the Dodgers actually have full blown interest in Stanton? He's really tying management's hands here.
