Russ Martin supposedly starting in LF today against the Red Sox.
I wonder what they're doing? They must be trying him out as a utility guy or something so they can find a way to get Jansen up to the MLB level soon? Maybe they plan on keeping Maile around past this season as well, so if Martin can play OF, IF and C they can still keep Maile and Jansen around as C's? Would make sense I guess as being a full time C at 35 years old must really take it's toll on his body and knees and what not.
Hopefully his BABIP starts to come around, because as Parallex stated, he's still hitting the ball hard and walking.
