-Miami Fan- Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I just felt that this thread was necessary, because I'm sure we're all anxiously tracking Maybin's stats in NOLA. Tonight, he's 1/2 with 1HR and 2RBI. He's hitting .293 on the season. The home run tonight is the first of the season for him in AAA. Hopefully the .293 average will rise...that's all I really care about right now is that his average increases, b/c the Marlins could really use a consistent hitting Maybin in their lineup.

Out of the Past Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I hope he doesn't become Gary Matthews Jr. 2.0 but that's about what I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Miami Fan- Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 So he's just day-to-day? If he can stay off the DL that'd be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30plus Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hopefully he can start slugging enough to warrant a call up. Then we could move Coghlan to 3B where he belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirspud Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think that it's not just gonna be about the numbers with Maybin. There are things he needs to learn at that level before he gets exposed again in the majors. And to those just watching Maybin's Avg., I'd actually be very concerned with the power numbers he's putting up (not necessarily his homers). An absolute red flag for me with Maybin has always been that despite his frame and raw power he is a ground ball hitter. A lot of his value is based on his projectability and developing the ability to use his his strength to elevate the ball and produce power. And yet he simply doesn't do that enough yet to really make him half as valuable as his prospect value would indicate. Right now he is slugging under .400 in the minors. We don't need him to be churning out thirty homer seasons in the majors right away but he is never going to get anywhere close to being more than an over-hyped toolsy outfielder until he makes some refinements at the plate. Until he does, why bring him up to the majors and just get token production from him, especially with Coghlan developing very nicely? Barring a major injury or trade, I don't see the organization bringing him up any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about the immediate. Long-term is second base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring a major injury or trade, I don't see the organization bringing him up any time soon. Something I noticed in his swing while he was up is he really uses his wrists when hitting. While it makes hit bat real quick he seems to roll over balls with his top hand causing ground balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K's worry me far less because they are easier to fix than a flawed swing. I agree with what was said above about Maybin's tendency to roll over on groundballs with that top hand. I noticed it back in September but it wasn't emphasized as much because he was getting base hits (several of which were infield hits). His swing doesn't seem to have the kind of "loft" that a guy with his power potential should have. He needs to make the necessary adjustments in AAA and have a consistent stretch of slugging. Right now, with the team's unwillingness to move Bonifacio out of a starting role, I highly doubt the're going to call up Maybin out of necessity.

Marlins2003 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Playing in NOLA means half their games are being played at six feet above sea level, this is not albuquerque. Also being the division they are in and because of their location half their remaining games are played in the eastern half of the country (see the PCL division lineups - the PCL stopped being the PCL a long time ago)so when you look at their schedule that means only about a quarter of their games are potentially played in that part of the country we think of when we think of the old PCL with mile high playing fields and hot dry air. My point being that the old thinking when the fish were in albuquerque doesn't apply any longer when looking at player stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also King a good rate, less than 16% of the time. It's everything else that he's doing that's troublesome (besides hitting for average) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
