The Book on Cameron Maybin

Prospect Info


FLACameron Maybin
Born 4/4/1987
OF, FLA

He might not be the second coming of Ken Griffey Jr., but this potential five-tooler has a place in the everyday lineup in the very near future. Look for a good mix of average, steals and power to continue to grow, if slowly, as he nears the big lights.

Since being acquired by Florida, Maybin stands a better chance of playing regularly, though the lineup around him won't produce quite as much, and the park won't help his numbers.

Player Updates and Notes

The Marlins are talking as if Maybin will be their starting center fielder right out of spring training in 2008. If they're serious, it could be a long, exciting, and strikeout-filled season for the youngster.
