I wouldn't mind slightly overpaying for Martin for 1 year, seeing what he has, and then go from there. Maybe he'll do it for the nationalism.
I don't see 90 wins at all from us, the pitching staff as it stands now is a year or 2 away.

With the Red Sox and Yanks throwing years around like crazy, I would be shocked to see him sign a 1 year deal.
You really don't see a potential 90 win team? 85 last year and that was with down years from Hill and Lind. Losing Marcum hurts, and you can't bank on 53 homeruns again from Bautista, but the starting pitching staff is pretty stable. One of Drabek or Stewart has the potential to come in and really surprise IMO, and I am really looking forward to watching Brandon Morrow pick up where he left off last August.
There are still a few questions to be answered (3rd base, relief pitching), but the offseason is still young and I fully expect a few more moves by AA. 2 years this team should be full on contending in the AL East, but I am intrigued by their potential as early as next season.
