A right-handed hitter, Maybin has very limited pop but has flashed a little speed and has a .444 average against lefties this season. However, he’s actually hit righties better over the course of his career and is just an okay defensive player with -6 DRS over his career and -1 this season, so it’s hard to really understand this move as anything other than emergency depth.
