I have spoken to Marlins beat writers from newspapers around the state and they said the same thing I said about this situation: The best way to groom Cameron Maybin would have been right here at the MLB level, not by sending him down to the Minors and hurting this team depth wise and talent wise.
They did this with Alejandro De Aza last season even after he got injured and we were left having to platoon with CF the entire season and that hurt his development, it also created a void at that position of which really wasn't necessary.
Both Cameron Maybin and Alejandro De Aza bring speed, good contact hitters; pop in their bats, good runners on the basepaths which means they can steal bases.... And defensively can cover center field, the most important position on the field better than anyone else on the roster.
With Maybin gone, the best thing for the Marlins to do is make De Aza the starter and platoon him with Cody Ross if healthy, but for sure for the sake of this team both defensively and offensively... De Aza has to be the guy, hands down.
