Marlins Promote Mike Stanton; DFA Mike Lamb

By Steve Adams | June 6, 2010 at 4:00pm CDT

4:00pm: Rodriguez tweets that the Marlins will designate veteran infielder Mike Lamb for assignment to make room for Stanton. Lamb's DFA is unsurprising, as the 34-year-old posted a line of just .208/.269/.250 through 26 plate appearances.

3:39pm: Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald tweets that Stanton will join the Marlins for the series opener in Philadelphia on Tuesday this week.

1:46pm: MLB.com's Joe Frisaro echoes (via Twitter) that Stanton is not in the lineup and says that there is a report out that he's been called up by the Marlins.

1:42pm: Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun Sentinel reports that Marlins top prospect Mike Stanton is not in the lineup for Double-A Jacksonville this afternoon.

As Rodriguez cautions, it's possible that Stanton is just receiving a scheduled day off, however this news certainly meshes with the previous reports and speculation that Stanton may be on his way to Miami to continue his 2010 reign of terror in the National League East.

The 20-year-old righty slugger has shown tremendous improvement over last year and absolutely annihilated Double-A so far this season. His .311 batting average entering Sunday matches his on-base percentage from Jacksonville in 2009; his .441 OBP and .726 slugging percentage for the season are also each well over 100 points higher than his marks from '09. To date, he's mashed 21 home runs and walked 44 times in 238 plate appearances, versus 53 strikeouts.

Heading into the season, Baseball America ranked Stanton as the game's third-best prospect, behind only Jason Heyward and Stephen Strasburg.

    poor stanton. He isn’t ready for the majors imo. Hopefully the Marlins realize this and send him to the minors if he starts struggling.

    He strikes out so much. What’s the harm in giving him some Triple-A? I think he’ll adjust fine with time, but of course, I thought the same of Maybin, whose biggest flaw is also a whole lot of swing and miss.

      Dont know whats going on with Maybin, who can flash greatness…it was just bad timing. marlins didnt have OF depth like they do now when we got him. he is still young, everyone forgets he’s 22, and hopefully in time can put it all together. the hope is Stanton wont be a Maybin. Its all about adapting. Heyward was great, then kind of garbage for a bit, but adjusted and has impressed me. Maybin cant seem to adjust…

        What’s so frustrating about Maybin is he absolutely tears up AAA, .319 AVG last season in AAA and .250 with the Marlins. And you’re absolutely right, he just can’t seem to adjust.

    It’s disappointing that Carroll was sent down to the Minors and not Maybin. Carroll has been far more productive this season (defensively having to replace Maybin late in close games) and has done a great job when he’s been given starts. I really wish the Maybin experiment was over. Lets bite the bullet and just realize it was a bad trade.
