What to do with Victor Martinez?

[Clem Fandango]

I don't want him on my team anymore. I'd trade him, but the only guy who would need a catcher (he has only Kenji Johjima) doesn't even participate, and there's already several dozen catchers who are performing better than V-Mart at this point. I already have Geo on my team, so V-Mart is just collecting dust with his no-power hitting, no run scoring, no rbi producing worthlessness.

 

Should I drop him or attempt to pawn him off on someone else? I'm thinking about picking up Bruce now that he's gonna be called up. Does V-Mart suck so bad right now that no one would even pick him up if he were dropped? I'd hate for him to get on a hot streak, he was one of my higher picks in the draft. At the very least, I'd like to see if he can break out of the funk and then I could trade him during a hot streak, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

YOU SHOULD KEEP HIM IN YOUR LINEUP BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO GET REAL HOT VERY SOON

[Clem Fandango]

Well that was convincing. Any reason as to why you would back up that belief?

i have no idea what has happened to him this year. his career numbers are better in the second half, but the difference is not drastic. at this point i think one has moved past "concerned" into "somewhat alarmed."

 

travis hafner rates at "full scale panic" by the way.

I've been trying pretty desperately to trade him the past few weeks.

I believe Baseball Prospectus properly predicted a huge drop off for him.

 

I think I'm just gonna drop him.

 

Yeah. I dropped him like it's hot. Eff you Victor Martinez. I heart you Geovany Soto.

 

I now fully expect a Victor Martinez offensive explosion
