Palehosefan Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I know its early, but who would you rather have right now with the 1st pick in the draft? Upton is said to be an upgrade even over his brother BJ, has 5 tools, some scouts think he should end up in CF where he has a strong but erratic arm. Maybin is also a 5 tool player at 6'3 200 pounds, scouts are comparing him to Ken Griffey Jr. Other scouts have said he has a stronger arm than Vlad at this stage in their careers, yikes. Oddly enough, he's Rashad McCants cousin. I don't think you can go wrong with either one and I know most will pick Upton, I just can't imagine turning down Maybin.

farmteam Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Upton, however, with so much spotlight being placed around him for years already, I might be leery he might have a meltdown. But the tools are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 I would love to see which guy has the better tools. They are both amazing. From Perfect Game showcase. "Maybin was the top power hitter at the PG National and hit a tape measure 470’ shot (with a wood bat) in the Marietta Championships. He also runs a 6.4 60 yds and is presently ranked the #2 prospect in the nation behind Justin Upton (VA). Maybin finished 2nd to Jordan Danks (TX) in the AFLAC home run contest."

Chisoxfn Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I don't think you could go wrong with either. If I were drafting, it would come down to attitudes and how capable they were mentally to suceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
