• The Future is Later: Maybin to AA

  • Looks like we’ll have to wait to see Cameron Maybin. The Marlins just optioned him to AA meaning Alejandro De Aza is our starting CF. I hope this was a tough choice because Maybin looks like he’s almost ready for the bigs. Either the team feels he would be harmed by playing in the majors right now or they really have aggressive goals for the season and think that De Aza and Cody Ross will allow us to compete for this elusive goal. Don’t feel bad for Maybin, he doesn’t turn 21 until April 4th.

    Update: Cody Ross will actually start on opening day because we will be facing a lefty (Johan Santana).

  • About that Halladay Perfect Game

  • If Cameron Maybin doesn’t drop that ball, does this game end up in extra innings?

    Looking beyond Halladay’s perfect game, another strong performance for Josh Johnson as we count down to next weekend, when we have a new 20-year old outfielder to provide some spark.
