Newsbreakers

October 4, 2009

J.D. Martin held the Braves to just one run on six hits over six innings on Sunday. He pitched well enough for the win, but since the Nats won it in 15-innings, he'll have to settle for a quality start.

Our View:

The rookie ends his season with a 5-4 record and 4.44 ERA, and may get consideration for a starting spot in the 2010 rotation.

September 29, 2009

J.D. Martin pitched well on Tuesday, but was denied a win as the Nationals topped the Mets 4-3. For his part he allowed three runs on seven hits and a pair of walks over six innings.

Our View:

Martin isn't a fantasy worthy starter, but the rookie has recorded three quality starts this month. Not bad for someone on the Nationals.

September 24, 2009

J.D. Martin got pounded by the Dodgers on Thursday as the Nats fell by a score of 7-6. Martin lasted only three innings and allowed five runs on six hits while walking two and striking out four.

Our View:

Martin was not good tonight, but he has actually been very solid over his last several starts. He rarely gets deep into games, and he should not be considered for fantasy duty.

September 18, 2009

J.D. Martin only allowed two earned runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings in Friday's 6-5 win at New York. He had two walks with three strikeouts.

Our View:

Martin performed well on the road, and now has a winning record at 5-4. The rookie is pitching well, as he issued two earned runs in each of his last four starts.

September 11, 2009

J.D. Martin allowed two earned runs on two hits over five innings in Friday's 5-3 win at Florida. He had four walks with four strikeouts.

Our View:

Martin pitched well other than the four walks, and evened his record to 4-4. The rookie trimmed his ERA to 4.29, and allowed two earned runs in each of his last three starts.

September 6, 2009

J.D. Martin turned in a quality effort on Sunday, allowing just two Marlin runs in 6.2 innings, but took a no-decision, as the Nationals rallied late for a 5-4 win.

Our View:

Martin keeps chugging along with a 4.35 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, and is a solid spot-starter as long as he is not facing a high-powered offense,

September 1, 2009

J.D. Martin allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over six innings in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Our View:

Martin fanned five and actually deserved a better fate than being handed his fourth loss of the season. Such is life though when pitching for the Nationals. He's now 3-4 on the year with a 4.60 ERA.

August 27, 2009

J.D. Martin wasn't overly sharp on Thursday, allowing three runs and two home runs in five innings, but still managed to pick up his third win, as the Nationals won 5-4 in Chicago.

Our View:

Martin is expected to have his innings severely limited in September to rest his young arm, and with a 4.85 ERA, he shouldn't be too terribly missed in most fantasy leagues.

August 15, 2009

J.D. Martin only allowed one run (not earned) on six hits over six innings in Saturday's 10-6 win at Cincinnati. He had one walk and one strikeout.

Our View:

Martin evened his record with 2-2 with tonight's strong performance. He has allowed one or less earned runs in each of his last two starts, and the rookie is worth a look in NL-only leagues for his next turn in the Nationals' rotation.

August 9, 2009

Behind J.D. Martin's five innings of one-run ball, the Nationals beat the Diamondbacks 9-2 on Sunday to win their eighth straight game.

Our View:

Break up the Nats! Everything has gone right for the Nationals during their streak, including getting the first good start of Martin's career. Still, with a 5.91 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, he remains a woeful fantasy option.

August 4, 2009

J.D. Martin did not factor into the decision on Tuesday as the Nationals beat the Marlins 6-4. Martin went 4.1 innings and allowed three runs on six hits while walking four and striking out two.

Our View:

Another underwhelming performance by Martin, and it is staring to look like the Nats are willing to let just about anyone start a game for them these days. That being said, they actually won tonight, so Martin will likely get more opportunities going forward.

July 30, 2009

J.D. Martin struck out four Brewers on Thursday, but allowed five runs in six innings, as the Nats fell 7-3 in Milwaukee.

Our View:

Ohh the people that will pitch for the Nationals these days. Not that it needs to be said, but Martin (7.50 ERA) isn't an option even in NL-only leagues unless your only qualification for a player is that they are alive.

July 20, 2009

J.D. Martin was roughed up for five earned runs on eight hits over four innings in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mets at Nationals Park. He had no walks with one strikeout.

Our View:

This was a poor MLB debut for Martin, and the 26-year-old hurler should only be considered for deeper NL-only leagues.

July 19, 2009

J.D. Martin is being called up from Triple-A Syracuse, and is expected to start for the Nationals on Monday, according to The Washington Post.

Our View:

Martin has spent an injury plagued seven seasons in the minor leagues, and has never pitched in the majors, In 88 innings at Syracuse this season, he has gone 8-3 and posted a 2.66 ERA. For now, he isn't a candidate to spot start.
