Florida Marlins: Maybin headed back to South Florida — for shoulder exam
by: Juan C. Rodriguez July 4th, 2010 | 8:57 PM
Cameron Maybin is headed to South Florida to have his left shoulder examined. He didn’t hurt it on one play, but the discomfort has been persistent for most of the season. In November, Maybin underwent surgery to repair a partially torn labrum. He was ready for full baseball activity by the start of spring training and it didn’t appear to be giving him trouble while he was with the Marlins.
Maybin last played for Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday. Give him credit for not sulking after his demotion. In eight games, he was 10 for 28 (.357) with five walks, four strikeouts and a .486 on-base percentage.
Meanwhile, the guy who essentially replaced Maybin in the Marlins’ outfield did not start Sunday’s series finale in Atlanta. It was only the second time in 23 games since Mike Stanton’s promotion that he was not in the lineup. Since his 7-for-19 start (.368), Stanton is 10 for 63 (.159) with two homers, three walks and 28 strikeouts. For the season (82 at-bats), Stanton is batting .207 with a measly .575 on-base plus slugging percentage and 13 RBI.
The Marlins demoted Maybin last season at about the same point (84 at-bats). He was hitting .202 with a .590 OPS, eight walks and 31 strikeouts. Should the Marlins let Stanton keep trying to figure it out in the majors, or is it time to send him down to Triple-A?
