Do you think Maybin can make an immediate impact?

I do especially in the SB department. With CF wide open and the players Maybin was dealt for, I can't see him beginning anywhere but the majors.

My spider snese tells me Beinfest sees Maybin the same way he saw Hanley Ramirez, who never hit HRs in the minors nor did he ever steal as many bases as he has in his first two years.

In keeper leagues, I'd go into the mid-teens for him in NL-only auctions.
