If you knew that this was actually the final year of Martinez's contract, would that maybe change your argument a little?


I don't think J.D. Martinez is worth our valuable minor league talent. I'm not the GM though.

If there was a real problem in the lineup, it would be Beltran and his $15 million that bats 4-6th in the order.

THATS THE REAL problem.

It would be a rich dose of irony for Luhnow to cut Martinez loose for nothing and then give up top prospects to bring him back for a partial season.

That's the point baw.

Thinking of who actually plays in October, we have discussed having someone like J.D. bat behind Correa as his protection. Now one can argue McCann, but what about against a lefty-loaded team like Boston?

Beltran isn't going away, but anything to push him way down in the order if he never heats up like last year would have to be done by July 31.

Springer
Reddick
Altuve
Correa
Martinez
McCann
Beltran
Gurriel
Bregman

And if Beltran just doesn't earn the starts by then, play Marwin in LF and Martinez to DH. Like dhav said, let's go win the whole damn thing.
