• "He's the complete athlete. He does everything well. He's a prototypical five-tool player. His speed will have a big impact on his game in center field." -- Jim Fleming, Marlins VP of Player Development and Scoutinghttp://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/minorleagues/prospects/y2009/profile.jsp?t=p_top&pid=457727

• "It's fun. The intensity is high, and the concentration has to be high, as well. I think it brings out the best baseball in all of us. But this game has been humbling me for a long time. It's not going to humble me now, because that's what this game always does." Cameron Maybin http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/minorleagues/prospects/y2009/profile.jsp?t=p_top&pid=457727
