Quote: Willie on Fernando Martinez
In 34 at-bats this spring, Fernando Martinez is batting .294.
In a report on Martinez in the Journal News, John Delcos talks with David Wright, Tony Bernazard, Omar Minaya, Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez about the young outfielder’s future, work ethic and personality.
Willie Randolph, on Martinez, talking to reporters yesterday…
“Well, I’m just enjoying watching him. I mean, I’m not looking for him to show me anything. He’s a young player with a long way to go. It’s just nice to be able to see him play consistently…Every one knows he has the potential to be a good hitter, he has a nice approach for a young player, and he’s learning how to play defense, among other things. But, he’s really too young, I don’t look to evaluate him really because you have to see what he has first. When I’m looking at him now, I’m just trying to see what he’s all about. The potential is there, like I said.”
In a post to Dugout Central, Jesse Santos lists Martinez, along with Lastings Milledge, among others, as the top prospects in the National League East.
