Bowden is stupid for thinking he could get Maybin.

will he learn to catch a fly ball?

He's a centerfielder and they made him play left at what many players call the hardest LF in all of baseball, especially during the day.

Ok, so will he learn to play it or not? The fact that it's tough doesn't make it any better that he's not catching fly balls.

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.
