April 16, 201015 yr Had to give Maybin some love today. He's looking better and better every day. I still want to see more XBH, but I agree.
April 16, 201015 yr I vote for myself. For the second consecutive day I missed the game and for the second consecutive day they won. Coincidence? I think not. You're welcome...
April 16, 201015 yr Mine, too. I was waiting for Gizmo, but I guess he's not around. Sorry guys, had a family emergency. I might not be around here much for the next few days
April 16, 201015 yr Sorry guys, had a family emergency. I might not be around here much for the next few days Whatever that is, best of luck.
April 16, 201015 yr Gizmo, hope everything turns out okay for you and ur family. My vote goes to Maybin, just had a nice solid game. The HR that hit got out quickly. Was nice to see JJ bounce back and strike out 10.
April 16, 201015 yr Great to finally see some power from Maybin. Also very reassuring that JJ had a dominant start after a couple of question marks early in the season.

April 16, 201015 yr I thought JJs 10 Ks in 6 innings was very encouraging, especially after his K numbers in his previous 2 starts. Also, I know it's early, but Maybin is showing that he belongs. It's very comforting to know that if Cogs struggles we can move him down to the 8th spot and have Maybin and Bake, in the 1 and 2 holes.

Between Bake, CC, and arguably Gaby Sanchez we have so many 2 hitters we don't know what to do with them all.

Between Bake, CC, and arguably Gaby Sanchez we have so many 2 hitters we don't know what to do with them all. If we had a 2010-only perspective, 2 of those guys should probably bat 1/2, with Maybin further down. Something more like: CC Gaby Hanley Cantu Uggla Baker Ross Maybin But, they want Maybin to "learn" how to hit at the top of the lineup, so whatever.
April 16, 201015 yr Maybin might even be a good fit to bat 9th, tbh. He could have some nice protection behind him, then. CC Gaby Hanley Cantu Uggla Baker Cody Pitcher Maybin I'd really like that, but it won't happen. Based on the numbers I plugged, that lineup would score 4.909 runs per game, pretty close to "optimal". Feel free to argue my numbers, but I think they're pretty reasonable on the whole. http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/LineupAnalysis.py?Player0=Chris+Coghlan&OBA0=+0.367&Slug0=+0.433&Player1=Gaby+Sanchez&OBA1=+0.355&Slug1=+0.435&Player2=Hanley+Ramirez&OBA2=+0.400&Slug2=+0.510&Player3=Jorge+Cantu&OBA3=+0.335&Slug3=+0.455&Player4=Dan+Uggla&OBA4=+0.352&Slug4=+0.458&Player5=John+Baker&OBA5=+0.345&Slug5=+0.420&Player6=Cody+Ross&OBA6=+0.328&Slug6=+0.460&Player7=Josh+Johnson&OBA7=+0.140&Slug7=+0.160&Player8=Cameron+Maybin&OBA8=+0.345&Slug8=+0.415&Model=0

I think Maybin can be a solid hitter though. He's hitting the ball well, at the moment, so I don't like the idea of having him bat 9th, and giving him potentially less AB's in a game. But I totally get your idea.
