3/3...Looks like the best average hitting catcher got his stroke back. Seeing dead red!  Who wants to argue that he finishes the season over .327? He will.

I'm a supporter and touted him as a great buy low both here and the buy low thread. But he will not hit ~.350 ROS to get to .327.

Martinez isn't so much a buy low at this point as he is a "can I afford to keep him on my bench in lieu of someone more interesting" low. You wouldn't even have to buy the guy -- just pick him up off the wire.

Hes not on the wire in any league I play in, of any format.

Me neither. Can't believe a guy who qualifies at catcher, hits 5th for the Tigers, & could easily hit .280/10 HRs rest of season, would be available.

Maybe he's not in many leagues, but he should be.

I'm not alone in thinking Martinez looks like a shell of his former self, too. Dave Cameron mentioned in his chat today that V-Mart looks terrible.
