The player will likely benefit most from this deal wasn't even a part of it: We're speaking of five-tool Marlins prospect Cameron Maybin, who becomes the odds-on favorite to take over in center field now that Willingham is gone. It also means Cody Ross will become the everyday left fielder. The trade wasn't as kind to Willingham and Olsen. Both players go from a team that sports an up-and-coming offense to one of the game's worst lineups in Washington. That means fewer wins for Olsen, who'll anchor the Nats rotation with John Lannan, and fewer RBI opportunities for Willingham, who'll have to beat out either Elijah Dukes or Austin Kearns for an outfield job. The speedy Bonifacio goes from an everyday second baseman to a backup for Dan Uggla.
