[edit] Biographical Information
Outfielder Cameron Maybin, born in 1987, was the youngest player in the American League in 2007.
He was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the first round of the 2005 amateur draft. He made his pro debut the next year with the West Michigan Whitecaps, hitting .304 with 9 homers, 69 RBIs, and 27 stolen bases for the club. Maybin was picked for the 2007 Futures Game but an injured shoulder kept him out of the contest; Jacoby Ellsbury took his spot. He was called up to Detroit a few weeks later and made his debut on August 17.
Maybin's first career MLB home run came against Roger Clemens. This was the first home run ever where the batter had been born after the pitcher's first Cy Young Award.
In December, Maybin was traded with Andrew Miller, Mike Rabelo, Eulogio De La Cruz, Dallas Trahern and Burke Badenhop to the Florida Marlins in a blockbuster deal for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis.
