Fantasy Analysis
Martinez is still only 23, but he regressed badly this past season. With a strong spring, he could make the big league squad, but it's far from a given. Only owners in NL-only leagues need to keep tabs on Martinez's progress this spring, as he could be worth a late-round filer in those formats. (Updated 01/11/2012).
