Martinez is currently playing for the Gulf Coast Mets as he rehabs his right hamstring.

What exactly has Alou-lite done to warrant his selection for the All Star Futures game?
Exactly. These Future Games selections, media notoriety, etc are only getting to this kids’ head. Let him play and PROVE he’s worth attention before thrusting it in his face!
I don’t like it. Nothing good can come of this exhibition game and the risk of re-injury looms.
Might as well lock him up after and before games too. He might trip or something.
Dude, what if he chokes on a piece of steak??? We cant let him eat either!
This is cool. Lets hope he doesn’t get hurt during the futures game.
FYI Church in RF so far 2 for 2 with a double
oh cool! did he DH earlier in the game or field the whole game?
How do you know this – are you watching on the internet?
Make that 3 for 3, w/ a double 1 Run and 1 RBI….God I hope he’s okay and can play well for us when he comes back. I know nobody saw him being THIS solid for us but we need us some Church!!!!
well, it is an A-ball pitcher. Is he getting creamed? Or just Church kicking his ass?
problem AND awesome thing with Church is that he plays with the mentality of “Got to get the ball” – no matter what. That means he’ll be more prone to concussions in general. Oh well, we’ll take what we can get
I liked the trade when it happened, and thought he’d be a decent player, but I never expected to be praying for him to lift the team. Unfortunately I don’t know if that’s because he’s been good, or the Mets have been atrocious, but i’m willing to compromise and say its a little of both.
To put Martinez’s potential in perspective, he is raking the ball in his rehab assignment in the GCL league, which doesn’t sound too impressive until you realize that the GCL is the league he should be in based on his age. He’s actually the second youngest outfielder on the team.
Don’t bother. Let these dummies hate a 19 year-old prospects already.
yes it is “hate” that makes people go, hmmm, he seems fairly underwhelming thus far
the yanks-pirates are in a rain delay in the bottom of the 3rd- lets hope this game drags on and we face an exhausted yankees team
omg, completely off topic but i had to write it somewhere. Watching a mets-yankees classic on SNY and mccarver just said “Some pitches are not designed to be put in play”
Thanks Tim
Watching same game.
McCarver just commented on a ball down to second and thrown quickly to first:
‘The mind is a great thing if you don’t have to use it’.
Thank God he is not an SNY regular in the booth….
i guess he knows about that from personal experience :)
As you can see, I’m a fan of the current booth! I once watched a Yankee game and was about to fall asleep hearing Cone and the other guy.
what a CRAZY game, eh?
Tino Martinez is managing this game? Against Davey Johnson? Huh? Has he ever managed anywhere, ever?
In other news:
Ryan Church went 3 for 3 this evening. He hit a double, and had one run scored. He will play for the cyclones tomorrow, and will hopefully join the team on Saturday. He said he felt great physically.
Woo-Hoo !! Church on his way back. Really hope all is well with his health and stays that way – baseball aside.
does anyone think we should go out for garret atkins. the rockies are asking less for him than for holiday. atkins can play 1B also. we can send over three b prospects and that should do it.
-_- they’re gonna trade they’re most consistent hitter for 3 B prospects? get real
Don’t you know? Teams are always willing to part with their quality to pick up our crap.
look at what we got for johan
we didn’t get anything for johan since johan was traded to the mets.
Yeah, and besides all 4 prospects that we traded are better then any prospect we have now besides Fernando. Furthermore, Atkins should warrant a similar bounty since he is cheaper, locked up, and not demanding an absurd extension.
Church started in RF and was 3-3. Brad Holt threw 5 hitless innings and struck out 6. Watch your back Ollie! I kid of course but nice to see. Need Church tomorrow!
for all you people freaking about about fmart playing in this game: in case you didn’t know, jose reyes played in the futures game about 6 years ago and was the MVP, so relax.
ya but how was reyes performing before that?
Nobody is freaking out. We are expressing concern that a guy coming off an injury doesn’t need to show off in an exhibition game. That’s all.
And what does Reyes playing in this game six years ago have anything to do with anything?
“These Future Games selections, media notoriety, etc are only getting to this kids’ head. ”
“Nothing good can come of this exhibition game and the risk of re-injury looms”
reyes was our #1 prospect and used to be injury prone also, and hes turned out just fine…and its one game
Reyes was never hurt until he stepped onto the field at Shea, Martinez is at this point a 19 year old Alou that hits like Rey Ordonez, but he is so special
So Church played the field to? Do we get him back tomm. Or does he have to play another game out there
Church was in RF tonight at Keyspan. He went 3-3. He’s playing again tomorrow so he wont be back with the Mets until Saturday….
And he was hustling too….which was real good to see.
he always hustles
hes also a tool with a penchant for bone smuggling……that soul patch is a vomit inducer
lastings we hate you
F-Mart isn’t as cool as the name A-Rod.
Every time this guy slumps with strikeouts he will be known as …
K-Mart.
…and that cheapens him too.
lol, “two WHAT?”
My cousin Vinny, is that you?
Did you say “Yout”?
this really carl pavano guy is a character.
Pavano… how old are you? Seriously, you write like a 3rd grader… and I’m not talking about spelling. You sentence structure is out of whack… you mix tenses… you mangle cliches…
And you’re clueless about baseball…
Other than that, you’re OK for a Spankee fan :)
