Cameron Maybin won't be with the Tigers when the season opens, but he created quite a buzz during spring training. The 19-year-old outfielder was 9-for-21 (.429) with 7 runs, 2 HR, 7 RBI and 2 triples. Last year, he was voted by Baseball America the most exciting player in the Class A Midwest League. He is the consensus top prospect in the Detroit system and Gary Sheffield says he could be a 30-HR, 70-SB guy. From what I've read, it's only a matter of time before he forces Curtis Granderson from CF to LF to make room. That means Craig Monroe, who just turned 30 and had 28 HR-92 RBI last season, could become available.

No maybes about Maybin
