The loss in power is most concerning. That said, the fact that his plate discipline remained intact (69/80 BB/K ratio compared to 67/89 BB/K in '08) suggests he should bounce back in the average department. With his stock having plummeted, Martin makes for an intriguing bargain option for 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Martin/569361 569361 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:56:23 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Martin/569361 Martin homers against Rockies News: Dodgers C Russell Marin went 1 for 3 Friday and hit his 7th home run.

Martin's incredibly disappointing season didn't change course in September, as he finished the month with a .207 average (17-for-82), albeit with a solid 14 RBIs. At this point, Martin needs to turn in a big postseason in order to get owners thinking positively about him again. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Martin/558990 558990 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 9:40:16 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Martin/558990 Martin's 4-for-33 performance breaks down to a .121 average, if you were curious.

Martin's incredibly disappointing season didn't change course in September, as he finished the month with a .207 average (17-for-82). While Martin's 14 RBIs for September were easily the best monthly output of his season, his '09 campaign is pretty far past saving.
