Thoughts on Giancarlo Stanton career homeruns
Posted on 8/11/17 at 12:41 am

Theres a chance Stanton will end up with 400 homeruns by the age of 30. He's 27 and will finish this season with around 260 career homers. He's had some badluck with injuries, but showing what he can do when he's healthy.
He will prob hit 50 homeruns this year, and hopefully that is the new norm for him.

Well, that seems a bit premature.

If he can stay healthy he has a shot to wind up in top 3

Let's say he plays 10 more healthy years and averages 35 HRs per season. Theat will put him right around 600 in the 7-10 all time list.

...there have been 40-50 50+ homerun seasons in history and you think Stanton is going to hit 50 on average now Posted on 8/11/17 at 9:32 am to LSU316

I think he will come close to 50 homeruns quite a few times, yes. That is, if he can stay healthy.

This seems unlikely considering he's only had 1 fully healthy year since making it to the majors. He missed 29% of his games from 2012-2016.
Pretty awesome to see the numbers he can put up when he is healthy.

His first year was a full professional season, 2014 he got hit in the face to end his season, and now this is his 3rd full season.

Yeah, I see Stanton finishing his career with 575-600 home runs. The biggest concern is his durability. Stanton has only played in 125+ games twice during his career. He has trouble staying healthy and bigger guys tend to break down at an earlier age. It's very possible for him to peter out due to health issues and finish his career with less than 450 HRs like Juan Gonzalez did.

There have been 43, by 30 different players. There are only 8 with multiple 50+ HR seasons. Ruth, McGwire, and Sosa have 4 seasons. A Rod has 3. Griffey Jr, Mantle, Ralph Kiner, and Mays with 2 a piece. Really shines a light on Bonds 73. Never broke into the 50s in any other year, but magically hits 73 in 2001?

To be fair, he would have hit 50+ homers in the subsequent years had he not been walked 578 times over the next three seasons with many of those being intentional. Best hitter MLB will ever see.

He's incredible. So much power and hand speed.

He may get there this year, but I have really strong doubts that will ever be a norm for him

Around 50 will be the norm hopefully. 45 +
Posted on 8/11/17 at 1:58 pm to cheesesteak501
35+ is a reasonable norm to expect. Not 45+ or 50
Posted on 8/11/17 at 2:10 pm to WestCoastAg
We'll see. When he puts together seasons of 150 games he will do some special stuff.

Why not hope for 75?
