He's a good no. 4 OF. I'm just not that excited about him as an everyday starter. He isn't a great defender (zone rating in bottom five of MLB starters) and he doesn't hit for enough power - or have enough sb potential - to be much of an everyday offensive threat.
They needed to add an OF. Ankiel was a boom or bust signing that so far has backfired, but at least they didn't tie up a ton of money in Ankiel or someone like Cameron.
I actually was hoping they'd take a run at Marlon Byrd, but I understand being skeptical of his one-year numbers...

Derrick Robinson can start hitting better we have a CF'er...he has done much better this year so far. I like Maier as a 4th of'er but i wouldve just taken the bullet and let him play all year, we need to know what we have honestly.
