May 24, 201214 yr One of my good friend brought this up in a recent discussion......Obviously this would never happen in real life...Would you now trade Aroldis Chapman for Giancarlo Stanton?...His Argument the Fish would love the Cuban in the rotation or closing and the Reds would love Stanton's bat in LF and the cleanup spot for years to come...Sure, I would ... if I were the Reds. The Marlins won't take the call.
May 24, 201214 yr I'd say Kemp's contract puts him out of it. I'm more talking talent level alone. Assuming we're not hand-tied by any contract restrictions.
May 24, 201214 yr I'm more talking talent level alone. Assuming we're not hand-tied by any contract restrictions.With you now. Even with that the list is small...
May 25, 201214 yr Stanton won't hit the free agent market until 2017 and is making pennies on the dollar compared to Chapman. I'll pass on a guy with a. 260 average and a 3:1 k/bb ratio.
May 25, 201214 yr Young bat vs the young arm give me the bat. Stanton would hit them off US Bank. He has a decent average for such a young power hitter. Chapman is great but I think chances are Stanton is still the star 10 years from now.

The guy is 22 years old and already has a 30-HR season under his belt. Young power hitters with that kind of potential rarely come around.

May 26, 201214 yr Seriously? The guy is 22 years old and already has a 30-HR season under his belt. Young power hitters with that kind of potential rarely come around. His stats are similar to Bruce's. I'm not saying the guys not good and won't get better but Chapman hasn't given up a run all season long.
May 26, 201214 yr His stats are similar to Bruce's. I'm not saying the guys not good and won't get better but Chapman hasn't given up a run all season long.Stanton hit 34 homers at age 21. Bruce was three years older when he hit the 30 mark, and Stanton did it in a less hitter-friendly ballpark. Stanton's OPS is roughly 100 points higher than those of Bruce at the same age ... again, in a tougher hitting environment. He isn't Bruce. He's potentially much, much better than Bruce.

FWIW, I wouldn't give up Chapman for Bruce either.
May 26, 201214 yr FWIW, I wouldn't give up Chapman for Bruce either.If you wouldn't give up Chapman for Stanton, why would we think you might do it for Bruce?
