Russell Martin

[Simulacrum]

I'm hoping for a breakout year too. He's got the potential to hit for a decent average, along with double digit homers and steals. That's big-league for the catcher position.

In answer to your question, I'm targetting him in the later rounds, but there's at least 5 other catchers I would take before him.

Thanks for the heads up

Why's that going to matter to you? You already drafted Mauer in the 3rd round.

I think Liberthal will catch 25% of the games reducing Martins #'s. Unless he produces consistently to hold him off.

This seems accurate if he loses playing time to Liberthal[/quote]

Projections for Martin in the 2nd half? I'm assuming he'll wear down and his stats will drop some.

Thoughts?

Looks like he's matched your guys projections by the All-Star break...

I hope not. He has his youth and determination working for him. If he starts to struggle, I hope he gets a few more days off and can keep it going. I'd be happy with .280 and 40 RBI from here on out with 8 hr and 10 steals, but I am hoping he can stay hot and beat those numbers.
