Russell Martin

So Russell Martin has been really [expletive] good this year

 

2.9 fWAR through 55 games.

 

.285/.369/.523 triple slash

 

Was just looking at that yesterday, Then I saw that he's making 20 million four seasons from now, and I was happy we just traded for Montero. But, yeah, he's going off so far.

 

Yeah, never a question he was going to be good this year. He's probably going to be good next year. But after that is what I was worried about. I'd take good-good-mediocre-below avg for 4 years at his AAV. But good-good-mediocre-below avg- bad at his AAV was scary, especially since the "good" years weren't guaranteed to be even this good. And the bad have really bad potential from an everyday catcher.

it was definitely questioned whether he'd be good offensively even this year

Something about Toronto turns guys who are just OK into good hitters and good hitters into monsters.

the silver lining for this guy is that he can DH his last 2 seasons if they need him to isnt bautista signed through 2016?
