Martinez is chit on one days rest. Case in point........Monday’s nights game. 4 run lead from the Grand Slam and he almost blows the game in the 10th. Is MM secretly giving Schlitz beer some pointers???
When your starters can't go more than 3 or 4 innings on the road, the entire BP is gassed. I'm not sure they will be worth a chit the last month on the season. They blew out Hicks' arm. I suspect Martinez will be back on the shelf soon, with some arm issue.
The issue seems to be starting pitchers that can go 6 or 7 innings with some degree of consistency at home and on the road. Getting a solid starter in a trade is going to cost them a prospect or two and/or a MLB ready player or two. And I'm not talking about teams taking from the crap heap. They're going to have to give up someone like O'Neill or Tommy Edmand or Munoz...
