That's fine - surely we have a shortstop somewhere within our country that is more able to handle the position than Russel Martin and his "I can play anywhere I want, and if you don't let me, I just won't play" attitude.
I love the quote directed to Morneau - you idiot Martin, you think you are the only guy who has to play behind the plate? Do you hear Buster Posey complaining? No, Buster Posey is busy leading his club to mutiple World Series rings. I for one am glad that Martin pulled the chute - lord knows he wasn't going to make or break this club. If Canada somehow advances it will be because the club came together, not because Russell Martin was playing shortstop.
Good riddance IMO
