RUSSELL MARTIN!!!

GET HIM! Oh, and the Tek/Tigers rumor might be dead. Kinda hard to sign Tek and not change your payroll to much, unless they have a lot of extra cash difference left.

Yes, PLEASE.

Trade for Martin, let them sign Varitek, get a first-round pick from LAD. Laugh all the way to the World Series.

Lars, Reddick, Bowden, Kelly, Westy, Diaz?
Everyone else is available.

Easy.

No one is untouchable. Not even Capone.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=6390 Russell Martin

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=6304 Ryan Doumit

Doumit has a slighly better average.

Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!

Dude, don't use Espen for stats.

BB-ref much better. More stats too.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/doumiry01.shtml

Doumit had his first good season, and Martin had his first bad season. Both of their numbers came out similar this past year. I’d pick Martin for a career for the Sox.

ESPN has its uses

For example, you can find cERA, Iso, K/9, BB/PA, AB/HR, and other things there. B-Ref doesn’t calculate many of the sabermetric stats, but it’s useful for other things, such as splits.
