With Ian Krol making his return to the Tigers last week, it seems like an ideal time to reflect not on Krol, but on the man who the Tigers traded him away for during his last stint with the team. It’s also an intriguing tie-in with the draft happening just last week to focus on the Tigers 2005 first-round selection, Cameron Maybin.
Maybin, now 34, has done three stints with the Tigers during his major league career. He was always a charming, affable outfield presence who was well-liked by fans, especially in his later appearances with the club.
