00:00All right, now, Giancarlo Stanton, no stranger to injuries,
00:04unfortunately for him.
00:04This latest one is two elbows with tendonitis.
00:08Really strange stuff here.
00:09Needless to say, if Stanton plays 150 games,
00:13not only is he gonna hit 28 home runs,
00:15he's gonna hit 58 home runs probably,
00:16but we're gonna set the bar at 28.
00:19Buy or sell, George, Stanton hits 28 plus
00:21home runs this season.
00:23You know, I did SportsRage earlier this week
00:26and we were talking about this.
00:27My first thought was, it's February 17th
00:31and we're already talking about Stanton's injuries.
00:34All right, and you and I both don't believe
00:35he's gonna start the season with the team.
00:37So my thing is this, I don't know when he will play.
00:39Maybe it's not till May.
00:41Are you honestly telling me that'll be the last injury
00:43that he has this year?
00:45That he's gonna play from May through October?
00:47Anyone really buying this?
00:48He hasn't hit more than 28 home runs in the season
00:50in three years, right?
00:52He hit 27 last year, 24, then he hit 31, 35.
00:57This is a sell for me.
00:58He's not hitting more than 28.
00:59Like I said, I don't think he's gonna start the season
01:01with the team and you can't tell me.
01:03He's not going on the IL at some point,
01:05June, July, August, whatever it might be.
01:07So no, he'll probably come close.
01:09You know, low 20s, 25, somewhere around there,
01:12like he's done the last couple of years here.
01:13But more than 28, I hope I'm wrong.
01:16I really hope I'm wrong when he hits 42 home runs
01:19because he plays 140 games and only misses May.
01:22But no, this is a sell.
01:24He's done it seven times in 15 seasons.
01:27How could I possibly buy this?
01:29It's not a buy, it's a sell.
01:30And it may happen.
01:32But it's just a horrible sign that this is happening.
01:36And yeah, like if he misses April, there's no shot.
01:40So I'm gonna sell this.
01:43It's really, he's had a very strange career
01:47where it's been so much boom or bust.
01:50He put together basically the best offensive Marlins season
01:52of all time.
01:54Yankees were in love with getting them
01:55and he's had some big years there,
01:57but he's also had some zeros too.
01:58Like Giancarlo Stanton hasn't had,
02:00he's had, let's see, one season of above one war since 2018.
02:08I mean, that's replacement level player
02:10in Major League Baseball, Giancarlo Stanton.
02:12But it was great in the post season.
02:14No doubt about that.
