Stanton is under-appreciated and yet a still-feared slugger but one who has never been able to stay on the field enough to be a bona fide HOF candidate.

It’ll be a shame if he can’t stay healthy enough to give himself a legitimate shot at 500. His postseason performances will certainly make it an interesting conversation down the road!

Since he's primarily been a DH for a long time the bar is even higher. Edgar Martinez and Big Papi are in another dimension from Stanton.

18 homers for Stanton in August!?! I do not remember that at all! I was probably deep-diving into Fantasy Football prep at that point. I definitely remember Sosa's 20-HR June, that was amazing. I always thought it was 19 HR tho, so I'm glad I read this before I embarrassed myself! Great piece! I miss Mike Stanton with the Marlins!
