Florida Marlins top prospect and third overall prospect in the majors has absolutely been tearing up the minor leagues and if he keeps it up theirs a possibility that he would be called up soon. Stanton is only 20 years old, and the Marlins have said several times that they don't want to rush him, but of he keeps this up they will have to call him up. Mike Stanton hasn’t lost his swing yet. He hit his 10th home run tonight, a shot in the sixth inning that made the difference in Jacksonville’s 2-1 win over Mississippi. That’s six home runs and 14 RBI for Stanton since Sunday. Not a bad week. He’s currently on an 8-game hitting streak, batting .452 (14-of-31) during the streak with 7 home runs and 16 RBI. His 10 home runs leads all of Minor League Baseball while his 20 walks are the second most in the minors. I say the Florida Marlins wait until June and then call this kid up; it would be a similar situation to when they called up their former young star Miguel Cabrera in the middle of the 2003 season when he was only 19 years old and went on to win the Championship with a big help from him.

I believe that this young athlete should be given the opportunity to play as soon as possible if he is strong and talented enough. The team won't necessarily be "rushing him". Instead, they will be giving the chance to grow and become a better player within the team. Is there a specific reason to why he can't play now?
