Red Sox have inquired about Victor Martinez
By: Rob Bradford
According to FoxSports.com, the Red Sox have inquired about the availability of Cleveland catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez. Martinez, 30, is earning $5.7 million this season and is under a team option for $7 million for 2010. Martinez is hitting .401 with seven homers and 26 RBI and 31 runs
WHAT?!!!!!!!!!
YOU STAY AWAY! V-MART IS THE BEST THING GOING FOR THE TRIBE RIGHT NOW!
Sorry buddy, I heard about that yesterday that V-Mart may...may be on the trading block if things continue to go South in Cleveland. I didn't wanna be the one to post it cause it was all just talk with nothing in print yet.
He aint going no where. The only thing fueling this "rumor" is the BoSox need of a catcher. It just so happens the Indians have a stockpile of catchers and we're going no where this year, so people just assume everyone on our team will be sold off to the highest bidder. It doesn't take much to start a rumor, but I can assure you that it is nothing more than that.
Same as the rumor that they were going to take Migel Cabrera off our hands ...
He's going no where either.
There was NO reason for the Tigers to try and get rid of thier best player and at the time, WAY too early to decide where the season was going as well.
Youk is back in the lineup tonight!!
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
5. Jason Bay, LF
6. Mike Lowell, 3B
7. Rocco Baldelli, RF
8. Jason Varitek, C
9. Julio Lugo, SS
-- Brad Penny, RHP
Lugo's not much of an upgrade defensively....WHAT? No Nick Green????
WHAT? No Nick Green????
I STILL say the Sox shouldn't have let Alex Gonzalez walk after the '06 season.
Okay, he isn't the greatest hitter in the world (although he does have occasional pop in his bat), but MANNNNNNN could that guy throw the leather around!
Is this the same Alex Gonzalex who:
A. Made that famous error in the Bartman Game
OR
B. Hit a walk-off homer for the Marlins in the 2003 World Series
Papi FINALLY goes yard....
