As a Marlins fan, I can tell you I've never cared for him as a player. He's a one-trick pony. With all his power, he's only had over 100 RBI in two years of his 8 in the league. He has a career 268 batting average. 1140 strikeouts in 3,577 at bats. He has no speed, and isn't exactly a gold-glover. This year he was a monster, but:
Career hits: 960
Strikeouts: 1,140
Homeruns are great, but the RBI totals are underwhelming:
59
87
86
62
105
67
74
132 finally this year
Marlins fans have lost so many great players. The Miggy trade is among the wort in sports history. And if Stanton continues the way he did this year, then it will be a huge loss, but my memory isn't very short. I don't think Stanton is worth the money when you consider his career numbers. He's fun to watch hit bombs on Sportscenter guys, but I watch 100 of his games a year. Sorry, but he's just not miguel Cabrera.
