Starting catchers tend to fade off come August/September. So although Martin is a good hitting catcher, he starts almost every day and being in the NL will only be in the lineup if he's catching. Saltamacchia is much fresher and probably will still put up decent numbers from here on in. Also in the AL he can get a day off defensively but play as the DH to get his hits type of thing. Polanco seems to address a lot of the weaknesses you have and with Sheffield and Ordonez hitting behind him will continue to see plenty of good pitches to hit. I do agree with FF that Willits is a guy who's average will likely dive here as the dog days approach. Than again Dunn will always be prone to striking out.
