The scout said "Martinez long-arms his throws. It just takes him too long to get the ball down to second base. In order to combat that, you either have to have pitchers who can hold runners on base, which the Red Sox don't, or have them do slide-steps and things of that nature, which they don't like to do, either" http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/591454 591454 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 9:44:01 EDT kffl.com 34 days 14 hours 7 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/591454 After an injury-riddled 2008 campaign, Martinez returned with authority in ’09, racking up his third 100-RBI season while batting over .300 for the fourth time in the last five years. He particularly thrived after his trade to Boston, as he seamlessly slipped into the middle of a deep Red Sox lineup to hit .336 with 20 extra-base hits, 41 RBIs and 32 runs in 56 games. The 30-year-old backstop should once again be one of the first catchers off the board in most drafts next season. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/591215 591215 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 3:04:12 EDT mlb.com 34 days 20 hours 47 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/591215 Michael Silverman, of the Boston Herald, reports the Boston Red Sox are expected to exercise their $7 million option on C Victor Martinez for the 2010 season as soon as possible. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/581475 581475 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:36:02 EDT kffl.com 40 days 10 hours 15 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/581475 The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reports Boston Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein made it clear that C Victor Martinez will be their starter next season. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/580996 580996 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 8:20:02 EDT kffl.com 40 days 15 hours 31 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Victor_Martinez/580996 Red Sox GM Theo Epstein made it clear Monday that Victor Martinez will be the team's starting catcher in 2010.
