Maybin is batting .314 after 50 games- I am so surprised that they haven't yanked him out of here like they did Giarratano a couple of years ago.
LANSING -- Detroit Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski showed up Wednesday night at Oldsmobile Park to catch his first glimpse of 19-year-old center fielder Cameron Maybin in action for the West Michigan Whitecaps.
He wasn't disappointed.
Maybin, picked by the Tigers in the first round of the 2005 draft, finished with a pair of hits and three stolen bases while helping lead the Whitecaps to a 5-1 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts in front of a crowd of 1,981.
The Whitecaps (12-2) stretched their winning streak to seven games.
Get out the brooms- let's sweep those Lugnuts today!
On a side note, for you Pop- Jon Connolly update: 3-0, 1.66 ERA at Lakeland. Another one that the Cubs let get away. ;-)
