"What's Plan B behind Maybin? It's probably Emilio Bonifacio (IF/OF, FLA). And even though he cratered after a hot start in 2009, there's reason to think that giving him more AB in 2010 isn't a bad idea: both his ct% and bb% improved as last season went on, and he also hit far more groundballs in the 2nd half. When you have a PX under 40 and an SX over 140, more grounders are a very good thing. Bonifacio seems to already own plate patience, blazing speed, and defensive versatility. Those skills in combination point to an elite SB source, whose value will only be hidden by his lack of a primary position. Don't lose sight of him in March. What's Plan B behind Maybin?
