Cameron Maybin (OF, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues

OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: There seems to be a sentiment about Cameron Maybin that his season has been a product of luck and that he is simply a flash in the pan. However this is not what the statistics indicate. Maybin has a maintainable BABIP of .319 on a 26% LD%. This displays that he isn't reaching base on bloopers, but hard hit line drives.

So far on the season Maybin has a .277 BA, a .737 OPS, ten HR, and 20 SB. Maybin had a rough month of July with a .647 OPS, but has rebounded well. In 76 August at bats he has a .303 BA and a .830 OPS. Maybin is at hist best when playing in Atlanta (.853 home OPS) and when batting against southpaws (.814 OPS vs. LHP).

He is a widely available power-speed combo who is recovering well from a down month, and the underlying stats indicate his success is no fluke.
