Quote: F’Mart would have been Here
Fernando Martinez missed 60 games last season because of a fractured bone in his right wrist.
In a report about the future of Jerry Manuel for Newsday, David Lennon quotes Mets Asst. GM Tony Bernazard as saying of Martinez:
“If he didn’t miss that time, he’d be in the majors this year.”
This season, despite missing five weeks with a hamstring injury, Martinez is batting .298 with 18 extra base hits, four stolen bases and 21 RBI, while striking out 48 times in 51 games for Double-A Binghamton.
