| Russell Martin not in lineup Monday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Pirates catcher Russell Martin remains sidelined, and is not in the team's starting lineup Monday against the Brewers.
Martin has missed time with neck soreness recently, but said he was available to pinch hit Sunday. The team demoted emergency catcher Tony Sanchez Sunday, leading to speculation that Martin would be all right. Martin may be available off the bench again Monday.

| Russell Martin could be close to return |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Pirates catcher Russell Martin has not played since May 9, but could be nearing a return.
Martin was available off the bench Sunday, and manager Clint Hurdle said the team would have been able to get by had starter Michael McHenry been hurt during the game. Tony Sanchez, who was called up as the team's replacement for Martin, has been sent down, meaning Martin will probably not hit the disabled list.
Martin is hitting .263/.358/.526 in 95 at-bats this season. The Pirates will play the Brewers Monday night. If Martin isn't in the team's starting lineup, he should again be available off the bench.

All systems go for Russell Martin
|
| Russell Martin remains a matter of taste. If you like your catchers to have a lot of power, mix in a few steal, and toe the line of possibly hurting your batting average, then Martin is your man. He set a career high for home runs in 2012, with 21, while simultaneously managing a career-low in batting average, with .211. And as a Pirate, Martin no longer has the cozy confines of hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium (where he hit 13 home runs last year) to call home. Martin has the ability to hit for average; as an All-Star in 2007 and 2008, he hit .286 over the two-year span, but it seems that, in his 2012 contract year, he was willing to sacrifice the average for power, bringing a bunch of strikeouts (career high 95) along for the ride. He should be drafted toward the end of the middle rounds in most drafts. (Updated 12/5/12) |
