Newsbreakers
September 13, 2009
Russell Martin hit just his sixth homer of the season in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Giants. The two-run shot off Brad Penny represented the only Dodger runs and was Martin's lone hit on the day.
Our View:
Martin's line this season (.258/6/48) looks extremely bad for a franchise player. Especially when compared to what he did in 2007 (.293/19/87), which is what he's capable of. He's trended down the last two seasons now.
August 21, 2009
Russell Martin provided the big blast Thursday night with his sixth inning grand slam, as the Dodgers rebounded from losing two of three to the Cardinals to beat the Cubs 7-2 at home.
Our View:
The four RBI give Martin just 38 on the season, putting him well on pace to set a career low in the category. The 65 he drove in as a rookie in 2006 is his current low.
July 26, 2009
Russell Martin hit his first home run since July 10 on Sunday, but it came in a losing effort, as the Dodgers lost 8-6 to the Marlins at home.
Our View:
Martin has had a prodigious power outage in 2009, slugging only three in 313 at-bats. He is also just 8-for-14 on stolen base attempts, and looking not at all like the elite catcher he was in 2007 and 2008.
July 1, 2009
According to the
Our View:
The team is calling it a mental break. Martin is hitting just .192 in June and has struggled all season with a .247 average and hit for very little power. He now joins A-Rod and Jimmy Rollins on the list of high profile fantasy players that have been benched due to poor performance. At least the Dodgers aren't calling it anxiety. Martin is set to return to the lineup on Friday.
June 20, 2009
Russell Martin finally hit his first home run of the season on Saturday as the Dodgers beat the Angels 6-4. Martin went 3-for-4 with the homer, two runs scored, and an RBI in the win.
Our View:
Martin has been a major disappointment this season, but maybe his power will start to take off now that he has the first one in the books. He is still a solid fantasy catcher, but if the power comes he will return to elite status.
