Tuesday's other big debut. Stanton was batting .311/.411/.726 with an incredible 21 home runs and 52 RBI in just 52 games at Double-A Jacksonville this season. He has been prone to the strikeout in the minor leagues, so don't expect a high batting average on the major league level, at least initially. Still, his elite power potential is worth owning in deeper mixed leagues. Just keep expectations in check for the 20-year-old. Stanton figures to play everyday in right field moving forward, pushing Cody Ross to center field and cutting significantly into Cameron Maybin's playing time.

hes a beast, if he can keep his strike outs within reason (averaged about 1 k per game this yr in aaa) he wont be going back to the minors. He can hit the ball far in all directions and has 500+ foot hr power

Got'em in all my fantasy leagues, including a keeper league. Only thing that I don't like are the strikeouts(53), but he has walked 44 times. Go Michael Stanton go.....
