Maybin to the Majors:

[UK1679666180]

After only about 20 or so ABs at AA.

 

Surprised, but he obviously has the tools and has the good makeup to likely handle this adjustment well.

Wow, that's quite surprising.

I'm shocked by it too. He's likely going to be overmatched unless he's matured that much since last year. If he plays everyday vs. RH'ers, it'll be interesting to see how he does once they figure him out. Once he got to two strikes, the RH'ed slider just put him away everytime. Hopefully, he has learned to lay off of them out of the zone.

 

Like I said in the past, I still haven't seen a MWL player that had a higher ceiling than him (Patterson, Pujols, Mauer, Dopirak, Fielder, Bruce, Upton, etc)

I wasn't too surprised by Upton, but I figured Maybin wouldn't crack the big league club until next year..Regardless, he is going to be really fun to watch. Can't wait to see who has better numbers with regular playing time, Maybin or Upton...It's damn close to a coin flip.

his K-rate of one per game in the FSL doesn't bode well for immediate success at the big league level

Good for him!!

No it really isn't.
