Michael Martinez and Others are Gone

Pete Orr was removed from the 40-man roster.  In parts of two seasons in Philly, Orr played 2nd and 3rd base, batting .253/.616 over 81 games.  Signing him to a minor league deal for a third straight season would be wise because he provides depth at Triple-A and is passable in short spurts in the Majors.  Plus, he's Canadian, so that's cool.Minor league veteran catcher...

Phillies Farce: Why is Michael Martinez in Major League Baseball?

I can say I did understand where the Phillies were coming from when they drafted utility player Michael Martinez in the Rule 5 draft prior to the 2011 season.   But why he continues to 1) Be on a major league roster, 2) Actually play some games and 3) Start some of them is out of my realm of comprehension.  For the Phillies, a cheap utility player who could play many positions...

Michael Martinez- Worst Player in the History of Major League Baseball

Starting at third base for the Philadelphia Phillies and batting 8th, Michael Martinez.Charles Fuqua Manuel, the strategic managerial genius that he is, went with Mini-Mart over Pete Orr, Ty Wigginton, Placido Polanco, or Kevin Frandsen.  Although none of them are world-beaters, they're a boatload better than Martinez. He rolls into today's game with a career batting average...

Utley Activated From DL; Martinez to Lehigh Valley

Utley is back tonight. (AP) Chase Utley is finally returning to the Phillies. Tonight at 7:05, Utley will man his familiar position at second base, bat in his familiar position in the lineup (third), and hear that familiar roar when his name is called as he steps to the plate.
