The best option to me was Lucas May and he was delt. Ellis will get on base. I just keep thinking if Martin could get back on track. I am torn. I guess I would give Martin one more chance. But thats my opinion. This is a great topic to talk about because I think every answer could be argued right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120656832581311446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968516440620467980.post-78424339332320416792010-11-27T18:45:45.453-08:002010-11-27T18:45:45.453-08:00Dustin - I need to read your post.

However, that doesn...Martin should be non-tendered. However, that doesn't mean the Dodgers shouldn't entertain the idea of bringing him back.<br /><br />If it means sacrificing the ever elusive big bat, then Martin might be gonzo with Ellis/Barajas/other FA taking over.<br /><br />I did a post on Martin's decline on my blog (actually the most-read post on my blog). It's really sad to see the way his career has gone.<br /><br />Martin was destined for stardom. He was anointed the team leader by many (including myself) after his second season. It's too bad he didn't take the reigns and capitalize on his opportunity. Torre and Little worked him to death, which played a large factor in his decline.<br /><br />He was one of my favorite players, but he's definitely not with the $6 or $7 million he'd get if the Dodgers tendered him a contract. I'd be OK with that amount on a two-year deal, but not for one year.Dustin Noslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724251624533777222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968516440620467980.post-31997358753111768472010-11-27T16:31:35.282-08:002010-11-27T16:31:35.282-08:00Charles - I agree.

Let him go!!! I like the idea of arbitration, but is the price tag really going to be inline with what he produces? I think not. As much as it pains me, I never want to let any player go, let him test free agency.Charles @ Hoopographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470157373493317997noreply@blogger.com
