Re: Cameron Maybin, Welcome to the Big Leagues!!!

Supposedly Bowden offered Soriano for Maybin straight up last year and Tigers balked. So he has to be a super-top prospect for that to happen in the middle of their 1st pennant race in recent times, no?

Uh, well:
1. Maybin is indeed a supertopprospect. In the majors at age 20, QED.
2. But: Soriano would have been a rent-a-player. Chances were almost exactly zero that he'd sign a long term deal in Detroit. Who gives up a supertopprospect for a guy who's going to be with you for a couple months? Not Dombrowski.
