FERNANDO MARTINEZ RUMORS
Fernando Martinez thrives after being waived by Mets
Still not 25 and an assumed prospect flop, Fernando Martinez was always too hurt to ever achieve the potential that scouts saw in his first four minor league seasons. Met fans grew accustomed to his name being on the list of their top 10 prospects and began to assume it was inevitable that he’d be patrolling right field by now.
As we all know, that was not the case. Fernando...

New York Mets Might Have Pulled the Plug Too Early On Fernando Martinez
I might have discussed this back when the New York Mets waived former top prospect Fernando Marintez, but I need to talk about it again. After discussing the New York Mets’ lack of success in pursuing a left-handed outfield bat, it is hard not to think about Fernando Martinez and contributions that he could have made in Queens.
I can’t deny that Martinez is looking...

Fernando Martinez going, going, gone... to the Astros
The Astros claimed Martinez, tweets ESPN NY's Adam Rubin. They had the first crack at Martinez in the waiver process, with MLB's worst record in 2011.
Baseball America named Martinez one of the top 100 prospects in the game before each of the 2007-10 seasons, and at age 23, he's worth a 40-man roster spot for new Houston GM Jeff Luhnow.

Farewell Fernando: Martinez A Fitting Symbol Of The Omar Minaya Regime
Former “super-prospect” Fernando Martinez was placed on waivers yesterday.

Will Fernando Martinez make the Mets’ Opening Day roster?
When the 2011 season ended, the Mets seemed to have their outfield for the following season all set. The starters appeared to be Jason Bay, Lucas Duda and Angel Pagan while the reserves figured to be Nick Evans and Jason Pridie.
Evans finally seemed ready to take up a permanent spot on the club, after years of getting jerked around, thanks to a solid second half in which...
