HDWEB: The greatest spring training home run of all time and Barry Bonds didn’t hit it

Good afternoon HDWEB'ers, it's March 11th and Ervin Santana still doesn't have a job. Here's everything you need to know.

If you have ideas or suggestions, send 'em my way at @justinbopp.

I challenge you to find evidence of a better, more beautiful, more kick-ass spring training home run than this one from Giancarlo Stanton. Hell, I'd put it in the pantheon of greatest home runs ever if you give me a minute. Have evidence otherwise? Let's see it in the comments.

• Hot take: Let's pump the breaks on our way to panicville, shall we? Have you seen that division? The Nationals could be a legitimate threat, I guess, but the Braves are still the team to beat and probably will be for some time. I'm an Ervin Santana fan -- but is he worth a draft pick? Does anyone expect him to repeat what he did at Kauffman last season? The answer is no, and no. Braves fans: sit tight, don't panic. You got this.
