Mike Stanton Has Been Called Up

Mike Stanton has officially left Jacksonville and is in South Florida. He is getting ready for his first major league debut on Tuesday in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Stanton has 21 home runs and has driven in 52 runs in 52 game this season so far in the minor leagues. The only other minor league player garnering more attention has been fast ball hurler Stephen Strasburg.

Stanton will most likely play right field for the fish when he gets in tomorrow and The Marlins are looking for some immediate impact out of the player as Fredie Gonzalez has been tweaking the line-up lately trying to get the best mix possible. Right now we are still unsure of where exactly he will fall in the line-up. It really depends on where Gonzalez puts Hanley Ramirez, as Stanton could hit 6 or 7th, but if Hanley hits 3rd, Stanton may hit 2nd.

Tuesdays game should be heavily watched as the debut of Mike Stanton will hopefully prove to be a great addition to the Marlins club.
