Prospect look #1:
Cameron Maybin
If you don't know this kid's name yet: GET IT MEMORIZED. Because you WILL see him starting at Center Field in the All-star game for MANY YEARS to come. The term five tool talent is thrown around so much, and maybin isn't there mostly because he lacks the power, but gets an A in every other category. He is a speed demon, and can hit it all over the ballpark. He also is amazing in the field as well, and will soon be looked at as what all other Center Fielders are compared to. He now has the chance to be an everyday player in Florida, and he will not disappoint. The small market of Florida will help him thrive, because he will have less pressure on his shoulders. I see him hitting .285, with 37 steals, and he will be in the top 5 in the league in outfield assist as well as extra base hits. Oh, and he'll win the 2008 National League Rookie of the Year, even as the Marlins lose 90 games.
My grade for Maybin: B-
It would be nice if he could add a little pop to his game, but he's good. Scary good.
