Stanton made a big statement in '08 at Low-A Greensboro hitting .293 with 39 HR 97 RBI and 89 runs scored. Stanton has prolific power potential that could easily translate into 40 HR per season at the MLB level. Stanton's tall and strong frame evokes comparisons to Hall of Famer Dave Winfield. Similar to Winfield, Stanton is an extremely good athlete with a strong arm and long strides that cover large swathes of range in RF. Stanton has also shown that he is an intelligent hitter and his work ethic has been lauded by several within the organization. Like many young power hitters, Stanton strikes out in bunches (153 in '08) but his desire to improve and his overall talent should help him to mitigate these numbers as he progresses. Stanton has rapidly become one of baseball's elite OF talents, and he should pair nicely with Cameron Maybin in Miami for many years to come.
2009 Projection: Stanton should begin the season at High-A Jupiter with the potential to jump to AA Jacksonville. Stanton is an elite prospect who should move quickly through the Marlins' farm system. Watch to see how he addresses the challenges of being a fast track player. The power numbers will always be there for Stanton, but watch to see if he can maintain his batting average and decrease his K totals.

Mike Stanton is a beast! He is picking up right where he left off in 08, as he is the premier power hitter in the Florida State League (although he is currently in a 4 game funk). Outside of Heyward he has to be considered the top outfield prospect in baseball. His ceiling is super high and his potential is enormus. If you live in Florida and you haven’t seen him than you are missing out on a special experience!
