Victor martinez?

Question

ok he's injured obviously and my starting catcher is ryan doumit. now doumit is hitting well right now and i could really use an upgrade at SS, OF, and RP. i only have one DL spot and ryan zimmerman is on it. should i sell on victor martinez right now or wait till he gets healthy?

Answer 1

1 thing to remember is Martinez also qualifies at 1B . Not sure who you have at 1B but he is probably a better hitter than Martinez this year.



  Martinez power #'s have gone down second half of season the last 2 years so dont expect big Hr, Rbi's from him.

    I would probably trade Martinez & hang on to Doumit. Doumit has been injury proned though.

Answer 2

Personally I'd DL V-Mart & try and trade Zimmerman, it depnds on what other 3B options you have.

Realistically, get rid of VJ. If someone will trade for him, and generally they will, I doubt he'll have a good second half. The Tribe aren't putting runs on the board, or even runners on base, so no matter how good VJ is, in the current Indians offence his value is low.
