-Just earlier this week, Leyland said that Cameron would not be a candidate for September call ups. However, with Thames banged up, and Monroe completly sucking, Maybin got the call. He has been tearing it up for the last 10 days in AA Erie going 8-for-20 (.400) with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs. He hit .304 in 83 games at A Lakeland.
-Appearantly Monroe is done as a Tiger. He was optioned for assignment. Which means that the Tigs have 10 days to trade or release him. Peace out Craig.
-Maybin is a bit of a local legend here in West Michigan, carrying the Whitecaps to a MWL Championship last season. The dude is only 20 years old!! I have a bit of a man crush on him.
-Maybin is one of the best prospects in all of beisbol. He has been compared to everyone from Willie Mays (combo of speed/power) to Ken Griffey Jr.
-They say that he will be in the lineup tonite with lefty Andy Pettite on the bump. I like!
-Sorry, no pic of ERB. Its a Maybin Friday here on brickmyers.
-More on the Maybin call up here.
*Update: Here is the lineup for the game tonight:
CF Curtis Granderson
LF Cameron Maybin
DH Gary Sheffield
RF Magglio Ordonez
SS Carlos Guillen
C Ivan Rodriguez
1B Sean Casey
2B Ryan Raburn
3B Brandon Inge

I'm sorta bummed about C-Mo. He had a great postseason last year and I think he's a pro. He just lost it somewhere along the way.
I'm sure he'll stick around the league...
More frustrating? This stupid rain delay.
