Stanton flexes mite on Moyer: Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton showed off some of his power during Monday night's contest against the Rockies. Stanton teed off on the veteran Jamie Moyer in the fourth inning, launching a mammoth grand slam over the left-field wall that actually damaged the auxiliary scoreboard. He finished 1 for 4 in the 7-4 win and is now batting .277 on the season. "Maybe the farthest. I don't know about the hardest," Stanton said when asked how his 438-foot shot compared to the other eight homers he's hit this season. "But that was pretty good." (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Stanton's grand slam on Monday went an estimated 438 feet and was just a small sample size of the raw power the 22-year-old possesses. After getting off to a very slow start this season, Stanton has really picked up the pace in May. He is hitting .307 in the month to go along with eight home runs and 19 RBI. Fantasy owners should continue to roll with Stanton in all formats while he is swinging such a hot bat. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Mike Stanton delivered just about everything expected of him in his first full major-league season, ranking fifth in the NL with 34 homers. Sure, his high strikeout rate was an issue, limiting him to a .262 batting average, but no matter how you try to spin the numbers, the bottom line is he was really good at age 21, which means he has the potential to be scary good at age 26 or 27. What about age 22? Well, you have to like the progress he made over the course of 2011. His .962 OPS in the second half would have ranked fourth among all outfielders -- behind only Jose Bautista, Ryan Braun and Matt Kemp -- if it had lasted a full season. So can it? Hey, you shouldn't put anything past a player with Stanton's raw ability. His home runs are tape-measure shots, and his plate discipline is improving. Another step forward for him would mean near first-round numbers, so you can understand why someone might draft him as a No. 1 Fantasy outfielder even though he's more like a No. 2 in the rankings. If nothing else, you know his RBI totals will improve with Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio and Hanley Ramirez projected to bat in front of him. (Updated 2/13/12)
