Today's acquisition of outfielder Cameron Maybin for left-handed pitchers Ian Krol and Gabe Speier brought mixed reviews from Tigers fans today. On one hand, it appears the Tigers did not give up much and Maybin is guaranteed only $6 million over the next two years making it a low risk move. On the other hand, he has a career OPS of just .678, so his value revolves around his speed and defense.

There is not much question about his base running.
