Since Stanton has yet to resume baseball activities, we're still likely a week or more away from learning if the 26-year-old will even have a shot at meeting a best-case scenario for his return timetable.","date":"Sun Aug 28"},"fullName":"Giancarlo Stanton","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Stanton only needed 74 games to pop 27 homers -- 25th-most in the league. While that kind of obscene power helps salvage his value in the face of missed time, it is becoming increasingly tougher to ignore the consistent chunk of games he loses to injuries. Stanton is almost reaching Troy Tulowitzki territory where he does enough in the games he does play and carries such elite upside that he has to be taken early on in drafts because \"that game-changing season is coming.\" Or maybe 2014 already was that season and we're just chasing a dream? No, because has 50-homer potential written all over him. After the top four picks, virtually everyone's board is wide open and those lucky enough may just wind up with Stanton in the late-first or early-second round. But for those stuck with the sixth or seventh pick, there is an easy case for taking Stanton right then and there. ","seasonId":2016,"date":"Mon Feb 8"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.6,"positionRank":47}
