In a recent prospect smackdown, John Sickels compares Tigers outfield prospect Cameron Maybin and Reds outfield prospect Jay Bruce.  They were drafted two spots apart in 2005 and both look like potential stars for their respective teams and they were also born a day apart.  This is some really good stuff and if you don’t know much about Cameron Maybin, Sickels provides some pretty solid details into his makeup.

The end result is that Bruce might turn out to be a better major leaguer, but they’re both expected to be stars in their own way.
