August 13, 200817 yr http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll...ID=200880813024 Where will he figure into getting playing time? Will he take starts away from Cody. Also will he hit leadoff, moving Hanley to the 3 hole.
August 13, 200817 yr I would assume leadoff and hanley to the 3. If he struggles at all probably in the 7 spot if they still want to give him at bats.

Also will he hit leadoff, moving Hanley to the 3 hole. imo there is absolutely no chance that hanley would be moved from 1st to 3rd when the calendar changes to september if hanley is destined to be a #3 hitter, then i think the best way to do it would be to play him there from the beginning of a season
August 13, 200817 yr Remember kids, Cameron Maybin is a leadoff hitter like Hanley Ramirez is a leadoff hitter.
August 13, 200817 yr Maybin probably wouldn't even start. I think that depends on how Willingham/Gonzo do for the next 18 days. If that stays a hole, don't be surprised to see a Ross-Maybin-Hermida outfield.

How does moving a guy around in the lineup compare to a change like moving a pitcher from reliever to starter? You're telling me if the best move for for the ballclub would be to move Hanley to 3 and Cameron to 1, we shouldn't do it? Why? Note I just don't get the reasoning at all, I'm not asking for a lineup change there.

August 13, 200817 yr I don't see how Maybin deserves a callup so soon. He's had an inconsistent year in AA, and has struggled with K's. How would that translate to the big leagues? I don't see him starting. If he comes, I'd say he'd be a defensive replacement / pinch-runner / pinch-hitter (a.k.a bench player). I'd rather see Raynor in September...despite the fact, Maybin is the future.
August 13, 200817 yr ya i think if willimgham picks it up then they'll do maybin/ross 50/50. thats IF willingham picks it up

Note I just don't get the reasoning at all, I'm not asking for a lineup change there. well havent we tried moving hanley to the 3 spot 2 or 3 times before in the middle of the year, and it never worked im all for shaking things up in the lineup if that is what is required, other than hanley who seems to excel hitting leadoff as compared to batting third

August 13, 200817 yr up to 40 players are allowed which adds 15 to the original 25 No team actually adds 15, to get to a sum of 40. That's just rare. The Marlins probably call up about 5.

I'd rather see Raynor in September...despite the fact, Maybin is the future. Maybin is hitting .276/.368/.466 in AA, .375/.449/.500 since the break. His only bad months were April, which was bad start, and July, when he was injured and only had 22 AB. Strikeouts regardless, his K/BB is 2/1. THAT is why he deserves a callup.

His only bad months were April, which was bad start, and July, when he was injured and only had 22 AB. Strikeouts regardless, his K/BB is 2/1. THAT is why he deserves a callup. First off, he's batting .357 since the break. Second, he's done this in 42 at bats. 42 at bats in AA isn't a great sample size to show me he's worthy of a callup. He's also only had ONE very good month. April - .738 .OPS May - .781 .OPS (not bad...but it's AA pitching; ML pitching is a little different, I'd say). June - .974 .OPS July - a horrendus .573 .OPS (he was hurt, though) August - 1.006 .OPS (in 36 AB's...again, not a great sample). That's not GREAT consistency. John Raynor, on the other hand, has 43 SB's. Has been a bit more consistent, as well. Raynor has also hit well post All-Star break. .341/.385/.489 . . . more than doubling Maybin's 2nd half sample size in terms of AB's.

August 13, 200817 yr Author Cameron has been playing really good lately since coming off the DL. I say you give him sparatic starts, and if he does good off the bench, maybe put him in the regular lineup. We need players up here who are gonna get us to the playoffs, if Maybin doesn't contribute, just wait til' next year to get him at-bats.
