In many fantasy leagues, and a couple I play in, it would depend entirely on the salary and contract status of the players in the deal.
61* 70**73**762*** MVP****AL07,AL05,NL04,ALNL03,ALNL02,NL01,ALNL00,AL99,ALNL98,ALNL96 RIP Cammi Cmon Bud NOW is the time to sack up and force feed an Olympic style drug testing program down Fehr's fat throat and save OUR game from these blatant cheaters!
But I would veto it if that trade was made in my league. Cabrera is way more valuable than the other two.
How so? Maybin is the #3 prospect in baseball right now I believe. He has all the skills to be a great 5-tool player. And miller is certainly a useful pitcher. I can see how you would want to get something that would be useful for your team this year, but i certainly wouldn't say this trade is a vetoable. If you are goign to trade m-cab for something that would be useful down the road this is probably the best you could have done...

In a redraft league maybe, in a keeper or dynasty no.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him

i think you would be drastically over valuing youth if allowed this trade in a league. i would veto and i dont say that very often.
on a side note Hanley Ramirez was often looked at as over rated a couple years ago as a prospect. i wonder how many would have vetoed the beckett for hanley trade?
It is probably vetoable depending on the league. In leagues were contract status is not an issue, it is very vetoable. M-Cab is still very young and is a first round pick for years to come. Whereas Maybin won't contribute much for the at least a year or two (he really needs to cut down on those k's to improve his batting average).
"I do not think baseball of today is any better than it was 30 years ago... I still think Radbourne is the greatest of the pitchers." John Sullivan 1914-Old athletes never change.
