I know he's not the most liked prospect on this site.</p><p>I just think he gets bashed for no reason at all. The kid is 20 and has all the talent in the world.</p><p>Post the reason why you voted the way you did.</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">How does Maybin take the trade?</h5> <div id="poll_container_10318_296146214" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">11%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Takes it personal and steps up his game</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">11</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">78%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Doesn't read into it and continues the same progress</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">75</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">3%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>It bothers him and his productions drops</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">3</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">6%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Fails apart and completely crashes</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">6</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>95</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_10318_296146214').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/12/28/232033/53 Rupe34 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 04:20:33 -0000 <p>Why doesn't he get any love? At one time he was a highly regarded prospect. Now he has been removed from most peoples top 50. I don't get why though.</p><p>He's been young for his league. In fact i think he is still younger than some of this yrs HS class. Personally, i think he has accomplished quiet a bit. I know some question his attitude. Hell, I question every kid 14-19. They don't understand life.</p><p>I just don't see why people doubt him so much. His power is amazing, he has stayed at 3rd (not for sure how much longer though), &nbsp;He can hit for average, he still sounds like a middle of the order bat.</p><p>If you've seen him play give some input. I would love to know why this board hates him so much.</p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/11/18/15454/742 Rupe34 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:04:54 -0000 <p>Does anyone have any updates on the move?</p><p>If anyone has some resources or inside information, please share it with us.</p><p>I personally think it would be great for the organization. It would free up money and would add another basher to an already potent lineup.</p><p>I know Stewart isn't loved around here, but I think he has the tools to be a solid regular.</p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/10/4/222749/820 Rupe34 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 02:27:49 -0000 <p>I thought I read that somewhere. Has anyone heard this as well?</p><p>If so when did it come about?</p><p>Will he be able to make the move?</p><p>Will he start there in the majors next season?</p><p>Does it effect his numbers?</p><p>This seemed odd to me. I hope it works out would be huge for some fantasy teams. It would also give Colorado some great trade bait in Nelson. Sorry for the ramble at the end. I had to get my 300 characters. if you know how to get past that please post it.</p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/8/20/155321/873 Rupe34 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:53:21 -0000 <p>Does anyone have any information on him?</p><p>Who do they compare him to? Is he even worth adding to a fantasy farm roster? Is more of a prospect or project at this point.<br /> If you have seen him play. Do you think he can stick as a SS? or will he be moved?</p><p>If you have any information please fill me in<br /></p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/8/11/122656/329 Rupe34 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 16:26:56 -0000 <p>Is it me. Or is everyone else tired of hearing about the yanks and sox?</p><p>My god, how many Joba comments can we make. We get point Yanks fans. I'm so sick of all the websites constantly talking about them. I switched from BA to here becuase i thought i could avoid the same old questions. Boy was i wrong.</p><p>Personally, i don't understand how you can root for a team whose team salary is over 150 million. They don't win ball games they buy them. I really love how the whole schilling and clemens thing has turned out.</p><p>Please stop posting about the yanks and sox. Lets try to be original around here. For a while we were and thanks to Joba we aren't. Instead we act like fools and post every single pitch he throws.</p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/7/7/154620/5807 Rupe34 Sat, 07 Jul 2007 19:46:20 -0000 <p>I have been looking for information but most sites ignore him bc of Maybin. From what i hear he is in the top 3-5 in the system. From what little i have found he seems to have 80 speed and a great glove.</p><p>Does anyone know how his power projects? If he has any weaknesses and who he may remind you of in the majors.</p> http://www.minorleagueball.com/2007/7/6/235237/6952 Rupe34 Sat, 07 Jul 2007 03:52:36 -0000 <p>With Cincy considering moving both Griffey and Dunn. It should produce more solid farm guys.</p><p>The group that's there is now is promising. We have 3 to 4 guys who could be stars for years to come. Votto, Bruce, Bailey, and Cueto.</p><p>Do you think the trade deadline will help the reds more, or will losing Dunn and Griff hurt the system more?</p><p>Feel free to post any other up and coming stars in the system i may have missed. ex. Fransisco<br /></p>
