The Yankee beat: Martin, A-Rod, and a mock draft
The Orioles actually have some pitchers and aren’t going to be the pushovers that we’ve all become accustomed to. Rookie from Taiwan, Wei-Yin Chen, pitched a great game and then Buck Showalter showed off his setup-man and closer combo in Pedro Strop and Jim Johnson. Meanwhile, CC Sabathia just didn’t have his good stuff tonight. Here is the recap and graph.

So I Guess I Own 1/7th of a Part of a Russell Martin Dodgers Jersey....
Continuing on with the 2012 Card Draft # 1 funded pickups, I snagged yet another 2009 UD A Piece Of History hit of Russel Martin. This is without a doubt my favorite of the bunch, and it's just remarkably sick.Numbered 02/35, this ridiculously awesome patch comes from the "o" on the front of a road Dodgers uniform, if my sleuthing is not incorrect. Part of me is curious...

Every Card Has Momentous Meaning To Somebody (eBay Sellers Be Crazy).
I was recently able to snag the below jumbo swatch of Russell Martin from eBay for a cool $5.03 delivered. But that's not the intriguing part of the story. When the card arrived, I originally thought it was sans penny sleeve, but soon realized that was not the case. In actuality, it was crudely wrapped and sans toploader. The seller had sleeved it before placing it in a bit of...

Girardi calls Martin’s struggles at the plate mechanical
Russell Martin entered Friday’s game against the Red Sox with the lowest batting average on the Yankees and no extra base hits. He still has the lowest average on the team, but after he homered off Clay Buchholz it looked like a major weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Perhaps Martin thought he would never get a bit hit again, but his manager, Joe Girardi, felt like...

Rumor: Yankees not planning extension talks with Martin
As is their usual style, the Yankees don’t plan on discussing an extension with Russell Martin, who will be a free agent after this year, during the season, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
This is not much of a surprise, but the latest trend in baseball is to lock up players before they hit the market so it’s not crazy to check in on this. As long as there are...

Blame Canada For This Great Deal On An International Russell Martin Jersey.
I came across a poorly listed Russ Martin relic on eBay, and I'm happy I took the time to read the item description. Had I not, I would have almost certainly missed out on my newest Russ hit, a great addition to my Martin Collection.This sweet red swatch is the black refractor parallel /25, and my copy is numbered 23/25. It was had for a measly 99 cents plus shipping, and has...

Rumors: Yankees offered Martin 3-years, $20 million
There has been talk this week of a possible three year extension between the Yankees and catcher Russell Martin, but while the sides have revived talks this week, they do not appear to be close to a deal though.
Martin will earn $7.5 million this season with another $100K in possible incentives. The Yankees want to scrap that deal and are looking to sign him to an extension in the...

Yankees And Russell Martin Talking Extension
The New York Yankees have proposed ripping up Russell Martin‘s current one-year contract and giving him a three-year deal, reports Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com.

New York Yankees Made Good Call By Not Extending Russell Martin
Even though New York Yankess fans are divided on how much value Russell Martin provided to the squad, many statistics – particularly defensive metrics – will reveal that he was a strong performer in 2011. The main purpose of this post isn’t to discuss Russell Martin’s defense in detail so I’m not going to burden you with complicated algorithms to determine...
