Sox may have interest in Maybin, per fake Cishek

This fake Steve cishek clown has two front page threads about his "rumors"? Next thing you know we'll have a thread citing peavy44's latest scoop

This is a good way of summing it up. Engel > Maybin if the role is simply being a late inning defense and running guy. But Maybin > Engel when one of the starting OFs gets hurt and misses 3 weeks, and it’s quite likely that such a scenario occurs next year. So a cheap one year investment in Maybin would be wise IMO

This is similar to the argument Lillian had made in another thread about keeping McCann rather than Collins,* if * it came to a  choice about which one to trade. In short, if Grandal went on the DL for an extended time and Collins was relied on as a starting catcher for an extended period, that might not be acceptable.

I rather keep Engel, he’s younger and much better defensively. Maybin doesn’t bring enough bat to make much difference offensively.

Maybin has a fluke year now and then, but most years he is terrible.  Prefer to use Engel and hope for more improvement.  He can handle the D regardless.
