Fantasy Analysis
Martis hasn't pitched in the majors since posting a 5.25 ERA over 15 starts in 2009. He seemed to take a step forward last season, though, striking out 9.9 batters per nine innings -- his highest rate since Rookie ball -- and even throwing a no-hitter on Aug. 26. At age 24, Martis still has time to become a relevant contributor, but since he isn't guaranteed anything in the Pirates organization, he should go undrafted in Fantasy. (Updated 11/22/2011).
