I'll be surprised if Maxwell clears waivers, and agree that baseball is full of stories like his. it will be interesting if to watch if something clicks for him this year, wherever he ends up.Dave Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310191107811609232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850525513629764193.post-65337669042829983182011-01-29T11:29:30.716-05:002011-01-29T11:29:30.716-05:00The problem is that there are many more potential ...The problem is that there are many more potential "late bloomers" all around baseball than there are roster spots to keep them all.
