What you guys think of him? Some people think he is the next Soriano I think he is more like a mike cameron he does strike out alot.

People compare Maybin to Cameron just became they have the same name. !+)

I think he'll be closer to Soriano than Mike Cameron when it's all said and done. His contact problem showed up big time this year, but he was doing a lot better lately than he did in spring training and the beginning of the season. He has power and speed, and even if the AVG won't be around .300, he should still produce nice fantasy numbers when he get a few years of experience under his belt.

I don't neccessarily disagree but I think your last sentence is the thing to watch out for.....it will likely be a couple years before he can fully develop that power and maintain an acceptable batting avg. Will probably be overrated going into next year, IMO.

Maybin is 3 for 3 tonight with 2 SBs.. and now batting .889 for the season. A little ridiculous.

I was one. If nothing else it looks like he'll be a nice add for some steals.

I am back in the hunt for my league title and am in an SB logjam. I am hoping Maybin can help me get 2 SBs this week. The runs will help, too.

Maybin in, Garret Anderson out. ;-D
