MIAMI -- Mike Stanton, as one might expect, isn't a fan of bus rides.
"I don't like them at all," he said Wednesday after he got off his most recent one, a six-hour trek from Zebulon, N.C., to Sevierville, Tenn., where the Marlins' heralded prospect continued his 2010 surge through Double-A baseball.
Stanton's Minor League success thus far is an uncomfortable one. Not because his hype and current gaudy numbers give him fewer good pitches to hit on a nightly basis, or because those same factors have him conducting about as many interviews as quality at-bats per day. He handles all of that in stride.
It's simply because buses are hard to relax on when you're listed at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds.
"They're uncomfortable," said Stanton, the No. 3-rated prospect by MLB.com. "I don't really fit in the seats, because I'm so big. I usually just lay down on the floor to stretch my legs out a little bit."
