He better come with a better injury than that to explain 0 HR.

Well, you know, V-Mart is always lowering prices, so eventually he'd have to get to 0.

Yeah, Shoppach is overpriced at 2.

Done for 6-8 weeks to remove bone chips from his right elbow- OUCH

So no hope for him returning and playing well in 6-8 weeks?

Strangest thing is that you would think the Indians offense would take a nosedive without Hafner and Martinez. They've averaged over 6 runs a game (6.33) in June so far.

Has anyone heard any news on V-mart? Is he on the mend? Is he going to return post all-star break. He has been sitting on the WW for weeks, is he worth a pick-up? All I've found is that they will not play him at 1st base.

PWNightmare and knighttown who did you eventually go with after he went down?

Player news from Rotoworld as of June 12th:

Quote:

Victor Martinez will undergo surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow and could miss 6-8 weeks.
If Martinez wasn't a catcher, then there's a good chance he'd make it back in three or four weeks. However, the Indians can't have him throwing at 75 percent after he returns and there probably isn't enough benefit to having him return as a designated hitter, not when Travis Hafner should be healthy by then. The loss of Martinez for up to two months only increases the chances that the Indians will be sellers at the deadline. Teams are already likely salivating at the prospect of adding C.C. Sabathia.

Ya, I had read that, but I completely missed the 8. Totally focused on the 6, so I was actually expecting to start seeing some news about his rehab. So, he's another 4 weeks away likely.

Math was my good subject.
